No, you are a Newb, big difference.


If I remember correctly, the 5/16" spacer made the most power in dyno tests. You should start with that. Don't mess with replacing your air intake unless you just want more noise. Again, dyno test have shown that the stock air box is just fine. If you want to get every bit out of it, use one off a "rev-up" motor (05-06' 6MT only) it has a little better design.

A Newb is someone that's inexperienced with the task they are attempting. If they screw up, it's lack of knowledge and experience.

A NOOB is just too stupid to know he's in over his head. As Clint Eastwood said "a mans got to know his limitations".

Motordyne hands down. Plus you are supporting a vendor of ours as well.

I doubt the MPG gain, but you WILL feel the difference in the "Butt Dyno" department.

Just torque it in proper sequence and amount when putting the bolts in. It's been a while since I put mine in, but I'm pretty sure the sequence and torque amount is listed in the included instructions.

Other than that, it's pretty idiot-proof.

Yes, save yourself some headache, go to Harbor Freight and buy a 1/4" torque wrench that measures in inch/pounds. It will keep you from snapping off a bolt.
