I had a 2015, did LTH and other stuff, so yes had done some research and that was the consensus among many owners on modding the airbox. many still guided with it just for sound anyways.
I got 5 trucks. One truck I want to tubocharge, has a 454 CI GM motor. I have the turbocharger kit, just have to build a low compression ratio motor. It would only run on high octane fuel or E85. It should make 450 HP without too much effort or expense. My latest acquisition is 1995 GMC Sierra 3/4 ton with a 350 ci small block, it needs a differential rebuild. It was Kansas county maintenance truck. The beauty of the old GM trucks is the availability of aftermarket high power addons. Or just drop in a LSX engine.

A turbo and E85 will get you a lot more than 450 depending on the cam.Quote:

An engine that makes 500 lb.ft of torque at 3000 rpm will have less horsepower than one that makes it at 8000 rpm.
Which engine?Quote:

I am flashing back to my 20's, standing around in a cold shop late at night, killing cases of beer, arguing about cam lobe profiles and other esoteric aspects of engine building.
By long chance know any performance shops in Oklahoma or possibly Colorado? Starting to flirt with what to do to my gen 3 coyote.Quote:

My favorite are two-strokes. Expansion chambers are an incredible blend of art and science.
Sooo my 2010 Nissan Titan came from the prior owner with the K&N system installed (bought it 4 years ago. also has a freeflow muffler on it). I got the original intake with the truck, currently just over 83k miles. Is the recommendation to switchback to the original intake? If so can anyone recommend someone to handle this for me?
Most were talking about tundras that has a good stock air box. I have no idea about a Titan. More concern that an airbox swap, is if it's an aftermarket filter itself, you need to maintain and clean many of the oiled filter types, if it can still take stock paper filter that's the best for longevity if you arn't trying to obtain "sick gains" of 2 hp via a high flow race filter that means it lets more shit thru.Quote:
