I was wandering what people think about aftermarket intake elbow's. Is there that much to be gained for the money? Does the elbow enhance the airbox enough to really make a difference? I would think they would work in harmony, but I'm just guessing.

Your talking like the CFM+, AFE Blade runner, ECT... right? I have one and will never go back to stock. I feel that they flow much better than stock. espechaly after you start modding your truck. I feel its last bit of restriction on the intake side of the motor & every little bit helps. I know some people will disagree with me but that is my .02

Mopar Man and I are in the same boat.. theres a definte gain there and it can be done without spending as much money on a CFM+

on a 3rd gen yes they do help out alot...on the 24V...no they don't do much, yes they do flow better, but not as much as everyone thinks they do....but if you do the grid heater delete it WILL help out alot...has been dyno proven from a member on a different site (can't name names in public)..if i'm not mistaken it was like 12rwhp gain...

I read here that grid heater delete was proven on a dyno not to do anything.

on the site that i can't mention, there's a feller on there that must have a dang dyno at his house, since he dynos his dang truck everytime he changes something on it.....i try not to mislead anyone...but if someone can prove me wrong, with a dyno run that says other, then i'll retract my previous statement....i'm all about learn'n here too...

i can PM anyone that would like to contact the person that provided me with the info...

idk but my butt dyno says my trucks better with it than with out it.

on a 12v i would have to 100% agree that the different intake would make a dif...i was just refer'n to a 24v....

yea i know you were talking bout the 24vs... i wasnt saying you were wrong or anything

24 valve little or nothing gained with intake elbow or heater grid delete. Motor will make over 600hp with both the way they are.

it's all good man...

true, but every lil bit helps though...since some people like myself, we don't need the heater grid where i'm from in SC....12hp is 12hp...well that's the way i look at it...
