Modifying intake for more air
I've looked, and searched, for how to modify my intake so that I could suck more air into my truck, seeing as how restrictive the intake is, and can not come up with anything that is worth trying.
I was wondering what you guys know along the lines of improving air flow throughout the truck, and general air intake. I simply want to make it so that my truck can draw more air through the scoop, without having to buy a CAI.
Thanks.

On my 95 5.0 all I did was remove the upper part of the air box, bought a MAF adapter and clamped a k&n cone filter to it. The filter lays in the lowe part of the air box so air is still directed to it from the grill.

Your probem is it's a MAP engine. it has a limited ability to compensate for to much more than a K&N drop in provides w/o running lean. The injector's are more than capable of providing the extra fuel to balance the extra air being provided. However, the MAP isn't capable of knowing there's extra air & telling the ECU, so it adjusts fuel for the increase. This is why some people w/ MAP engines convert them to MAF! Also, if it's injected, it's already CAI. Think about it! Maybe not the configuration you'd like.

I really am just trying to find some worthwhile mods, to increase horsepower. Seeing as how its 21 years old (Can finally have a beer), it's lost a bit of power.

On the air intake anyway. You biggest increase in performance & mpg would be an ignition system upgrade Mod w/ base timing bump & plug gap stretch.

I would do it, but Im saving my money up to get my exhaust redone. Holes in the pipes everywhere.
