Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) CFM+ aFe ATS ?!?!?!

When it comes to air intake horns, which model gives the best bang for the buck? What are the pros and cons for each one???

I have run a Banks 3. 5", ATS, and AFE; my vote is with the AFE.

Avi. You need to add your dyno numbers to your Sig

there is a test that was done on these and published in tdr the cfm+ is the best for several reasons. we bought a ats and cfm+ just before the article came out. it was obvious the cfm+ was what we wanted to use and bought more of them. we took the ats and a die grinder and about an hour later we had it half as good as the cfm+ and it can not be made any more than this.

I read the review on leftcoastdiesel.com and they seemed to like the CFM...

I am torn on what numbers to use.



554 hp and 1021 tq or 544 hp and 1235 tq



Bob, do you have an exploded view of the cfm? :-laf

BOB4X4 likes to warm the air with the heatsink "AFE"

P-Bar likes the cool runnins' of the CFM+:-laf

Your sig says nothing, give us a clue as to what you want from your truck and you will be guided.

Heat in a moving trucks engine compartment is close (plus one or two degrees) to ambient. So what air does BOB4x4 like to warm?

 

[JayStraight]

I forgot to include S&B... . I have heard nothing at all about those.

I have also been considering an intake but my truck is close to stock. I was wondering if I would see a difference. I have a programmer, air intake, fuel pump/system mods and gauges as only engine mods and mostly just pull gooseneck.

I see many high powered trucks still with stock intakes... . Is it more a driviability thing? Are the improvments (felt and/or dyno) worth the money spent? Is everybody running grid heaters or deleteing them? How about grinding the underside of the top intake plate, etc. ?

here is a old post I did in past still like mine. plus it shows the one from DTT but the one I got was half the price. not putting down others just enjoyed not breaking the bank on mine.

:-laf I will compare my egt's with any one side by side on a grade towing or ripping up a sand dune.

I also don't have to worry about blowing up my intake at 50 psi while chasing the B1k. I need to stay in front of the race truck not on the road side patching my ride

I need depedability+ when I am doing my race duties. I carry spares for the race truck but build mine to get by with less spare parts needed Oo.
