Cold Air or stock intake?

[torch93]

what would be the best one to use? i keep hearing that stock intake with the k&n filter and delete box.. or should i go with a CAI? trying to figure out whats best before i order my pro m MAF..

Either way you should delete the restrictor box, but both mods net around the same hp gain (5-7hp). Some argue the metal cai kit is actually worse because of the chrome piping that ends up heating the incoming air thus hurting performance. Its really more of a personal choice for looks more than anything.

gotta tune my 342?

ya i think its all about the looks too... hmmm wat to do? i want the stock look for cops but i do like how the cai looks.. thanks

Stock looks better IMHO. Just remove the silencer and put a k&n drop in filter.

Also, ditch the stock 55mm and install an 94-95 gt 70mm maf with adapter.

If you want a real cold air intake, get an anderson ford power pipe for NA cars.
If not, do the K&N in the box like 5L5 says.

Do you guys have pics of the above items mentioned and what is the power gains versus just upgrading to an cold air intake.

So does anyone know or tried a 4" afm power pipe on a stock motor? On late model resto it's description is for only big motor and larger cam application. I wouldn't mind upgrading to a 73 mm maf but would a 4" power pipe be to much?

A 73mm maf is a C&L and you don't want that.

I would just get the the 4 inch pipe and use a 95mm velocity PMAS meter.
Anything in front of the TB is considered an unecessary restriction.

What are the rest of the mods on the engine?

ya you can take my word on the C&L aint the way to go!! you'll love the PMAS meters! C&L in my case didnt do anything but gave me a headache trying to look for my huge power loss when the whole time it was the C&L !!! PMAS 500% over C&L

P.S ya im thinking going with the 4" anderson with my 342 stroker! plus they are very aggressive i think!... as far as the stock intake what you guys think on the rubber ridges/coils? does that affect HP alot?
