Default What will the Air intake mod do to my 4.6

I have a 2006 4.6L and want to mod the air intake to have a larger opening hole. called Gotts mod. Some have told me my truck will run lean though, getting too much air. Would it really make that big of a difference? and how long could i safely run it without a chip? and if i need to get a chip, which chip should i get for my 4.6?

I don't "think" the Gotts mod would cause your truck to run lean. A few posters/members claimed to have picked up a few MPG's with that mod. As far as a "chip" please do yourself a favor and get a SCT X2 or X3 hand held tuner. IMHO this should be your first mod. I stand Corrected I just read that on the 04 & ups it WILL make the trucks run lean. There is a good post on this "Gotts Mod" running now that you should read. So Get a tuner FIRST.

I run a Goots mod on both of my 2007s. I do not have a lean problem. Matter of fact i lost 0.1 mpg doing this. But it gave me alot more power at lower rpms

How do you know you arent running lean though? When did you do the mod?
Thanks
