Unsure what kind of intake for a stock GT

hense why i tell people just to make a short ram when they are n/a or lightly modded. get it kinda near the fender and drop the temps a few degrees for fun. you dont need the flow characteristics with those setups.

so a hot air intake increases gas mileage but loses horsepower? fantastic. ill switch back to my old plenum, my old rockers, and put some 2.93 gears in my gt.

If you re-read what I said I NEVER said that it took away horsepower. Like Bio stated it actually increases horsepower slightly over a stock airbox. I said that I'm going with a short ram air because of the benefits of increased gas mileage. A couple extra hp is great but that's not what I'm concerned about.

I do have another question though. Is the PCM going to be safe just sitting there? I've read that yes it will be but living in upstate NY there's a lot of snow and rain. If it gets wet at all or somewhat exposed to the elements will it damage it over time especially to the wires? Should I come up with a way to protect it?
 
i live in wisconsin, mine had just as bad as conditions as you had. it was fine, it's weatherproof.
 
My PCM is just laying there, and I had to drive through over 2 1/2ft of water when the hurricane came in, Im sure it got submerged. But almost 3 years later and still pullin.

that looks good as F***! any pros and cons from it?
 
just had a strange thought I have a functioning GTX hood the air box is an open top so the air just dumps in there would I gain anything by scrapping the box altogether?

No, not really.

If anything, gut the front of the box for more flow.

Get a high flowing panel element filter.

Replace the corrugated tubing between the airbox and the filter.

That's it.
 


I made my FWI for the cost of a low profile Spectre cone filter, plus a coupler, a roof baffle, and some PVC which I painted black, and can be found at home Depot. Took about an 1:30 to install because I'm a perfectionist. Has a nice roar at WOT and gave me a bit more throttle response/mpg.

Just take off your wheel well/splash guard and seal it up before you do it, it barely gets water in it stock. I live in PA, I understand deep puddles :P
