alright guys im goin to save up later on for a CAI and tuner at the same time

but until then i am thinkin bout gettin a K&N drop in replacement, which the website "claims" average horse power increase from 2-4 hp, i need a air filter pretty soon anyways, and i was thinkin of doin the Gotts Modd also, so will this risk runnin my truck lean???? i have heard the 05's have that issue, oh yea ive got a 05 4.6L in case u didnt know, i figure i can do this total modd for under 60 bucks, so what you guys think

dont waste your money, just hold out till you get your CAI

will it run lean without a tuner???

boilerup15

That I dont know, but i can tell you this, I have a K&N 77 CAI and no tuner with a 05 4.6L and have had it now for probably 5 months, nothing has gone wrong yet...but im saving for custom tunes

hell ur just my go to guy lol, does it make a noticable difference without the tuner??

yeah save the 50 bucks towards an actual intake just get the stock filter no sense in spending all that cash on a filter thats gonna perform no different than the stock just to throw it away when you get your cai setup!! but as far as running lean you should be fine allthough i wouldnt risk do it right get your tuner and cai and preferably an exhaust all at once and be done with it!!

there is a notice in throttle response, other than that nothing really

ford4wd08

well ive already got the exhaust
well the tuner and CAI is gonna run me somewhere around 600 bucks man thats alot of dough lol

ford4wd08

well i might have to look into them, i want both but if i get one as a gift i might just have to get one and wait on the other and the first will be a CAI

boilerup15

CAI should be first then custom tunes
