Better Throttle Response

[countryboytn]

Yea, I didn't do that...a buddy of mine did...and he installed it wrong to boot!

hahaha, how you did he install it wrong!?

I got the pipe beveled on the inside edge on one end to give the air a smoother transition....

oh!

Makes sense to me!

Okay back to OT...would a CAI cone filter help?

Stick with the stock air box-- that is true cold air intake. I had an open element K&N filter and changed back to a stock box and got better throttle response. Open element filter = sucking hot air

Uh, would it work with a 300?

Ask Robert how he made it work. The 300 doesn't have much room between the water pump and the radiator so I don't believe it's a direct bolt on.

I want some better throttle response outta my 5-0 mass air. It just seems like it has more hesitation than it should.

Hesitation? Describe this more.. does it stumble at throttle tipin?

Also I understand the engine needs to breathe and whatnot which is why I've got a 56mm TB, shorty headers with straightpipes; however I think the TB may be choking my lowend a bit.

Ahhh... no. The whole 5.0 intake is WAY too big for the motor and you're making it bigger so you're going the wrong way. I bet if you put the stock TB and intake tube back on your throttle response will improve.

+1 If you make the intake too large, you won't get any more airflow, but the velocity of the air goes way down.

Awesome man, if I was allowed to give you more rep I would

Robert that writeup shows pictures of your eBay fan plus custom fan shroud. How did you later make the tbird fan + shroud fit?

 

[NeXtras]

combo of electric fan and electric water pump would help.. injectors too... i believe theres an adjust ment on the TB so you can get true WOT as well...

functional shaker hood? lol.. so many things that are relatively cheap.. even engine resotre works too.. i notice a better response after using it

No, it's not just seems like it's not there when I want it...the 33's n 3.55 gears don't help it much and I haven't checked the TPS voltage since I put a new TPS on.I understand it's suppost to be .98v? Correct?

Ahhh... no. The whole 5.0 intake is WAY too big for the motor and you're making it bigger so you're going the wrong way. I bet if you put the stock TB and intake tube back on your throttle response will improve.

So, I need to make my intake tube smaller and get that velocity back? I need Mr. M's writeup on how he made his custom airbox for his truck. Maybe that and a cone filter would up the ante a bit.

+1 If you make the intake too large, you won't get any more airflow, but the velocity of the air goes way down.

Alright the pipe I've got pictured there is 3 inch....would I be better off dropping it down to 2 1/2 or 2 inch PVC? I now longer have the stock tube (it was broke so I chucked it) and good luck findin a MAF truck in the boneyards.

Dang young plumbin types don't know nothing about oversizing pipes!!!

It works the same way on drains, too big and not enough scouring and deposits start to form!!!

 

[flareside_thunder]

Yea yea yea......hell I once did a 16" run that fed off of 8 4" drop downs...overkill?It was for a Overhead Valet roof. I actually miss plumbing...that's scary. i sold all my tools too..that's even worse.

Soooo, my sanitary lateral would work better if it were inch and a half pvc?

Well rain water drains need to be big!!!

I actually had inspectors tell me to oversize drains, I don't argue I just figure it's job security for some repair plumber!!!

Selling all your tools is bad!!!

 

[flareside_thunder]

depends on how many feeds you got runnin to it and NO 1 1/2 is waaaaaay to small...that's reserved for waste arm stacks and Sovent systems

What size is it and what is it servicing!!!

Yea well I was in a bind and a guy at work offered me a good price. i did keep the dewalt drill and some of the smaller stuff. Now I wanna buy some tools....

It's 4" for our single dwelling.....I was just trying to stir it up while you plumbers were talking shop...

lol...hey uhhh Brad what temp is asphalt supposed to be when it's dropped?
