Default Re: NeedsWings Intake Review Part 3...

Yeah, I didn't see Shawn's post till this morning when I got to work. My computer at home has been down for a week, my daughter managed to down load a viris and my wife has been trying to get rid of it. He used the 3.2 OEM hose's with some coupler's that could be causing some problems. Before I jumped into buying the SL55 "Y" & hose assy., I called Renntech to ask them about doing this SL55 swap. They told me that a stock SRT-6 would probably see no gain's, but with my ECU tune and pulley I could possibly see 5 to 15 HP. They aren't trying to sell me anything, so I see no reason for them to say I could get these gains by doing this swap. Who know's, I may even gut out my air boxes & go 3" all the way through the radiator support and put cone filters on both side's. I just want to keep the OEM look of the engine.
