New K&N!

[460Trucker]

Threw this on myself yesterday, I can definitely feel and hear the difference in acceleration! Its amazing how restrictive the stock filter was, its literally a flat piece encased in a plastic box. This is K&N's high performance Aircharger model, fits great and yes I just finished cleaning out all the dirt and grime from the engine compartment so it looks much better now haha

Actually the factory box etc is a GREAT design... Still have it on my truck making LOADS of power

Some interesting reading in here Mike. http://performanceunlimited.com/projectmpg/results.html My truck appears to have gained about half a mile per gallon just by finally adding the snorkel between the air box and core support, but I `ve only run one tank through it since then.

If you take the 2 hoses off the piece of plastic where the IAC hose connects to the bottom you will see there are 2 horns under there also reducing power. The 460s only have it. I cut mine off!

Its funny how restrictive some stock items can be, I have also heard stock headers on the 460s aren't that great either.

Nice. Did you notice any improvement in your mileage?

Here are the stock manifolds and my headman headers

 

[Beach66Bum]

^are those shorty headers ?

 

[95F350XL]

Hedman says mids. Driver is a shorty just about, pass is a mid.

No problem, and yea I'm going to see if I can find a pair of headers for my engine.

I will figure that out the next time I fill up, I forgot to note how many gallons I threw in this time. Oops haha, I will be sure to post when I figure it out. Right now im getting an average of 10, and thats stock everything except the exhaust system.

I get 10mpg with 37s and a heavy right foot lmao. The headers came from summit with a nice y pipe but I went for duals

 

[Beach66Bum]

I get 10 mpg with a light foot....

That hasn't changed Mike,
Ahhh, 460.....

I should buy a padlock for the barn now! Then again when I come home at 4am from work and see a bright orange truck in the driveway I'll know exactly whats going on! LOL
