I decided to pull my stock intake apart and this is what I came up
with!!!!! I Started by pulling the lower (pictured below on the left)
"L" bow off and remove the vanes inside (a whiteish/clearish plastic).
I tried to pull it out with a pliers and that was not going to happen,
so I twisted it until I was breaking it into pieces. This was really
the only option for removal because it is held in by a "nub" on each
end and the plastic grips very well onto the "L" bow.
I've been swamped with e-mails lately. Fellow owners having drivability
problems, asking how to get the most from a stacked 3rd generation
truck, or wondering why a particular "stack" wasn't performing to their
expectations. So, I thought I would try to cover the problems that I've
seen owners running into and some common sense approaches to getting
the most from a stacked 3rd generation HPCR truck. I've tested ALL but
two lines of boxes on my '03 HPCR and I'll be using my current
selection of upgrades as they cover some of the more popular choices. I
don't endorse my current choice of modification but they'll serve as
good examples.
Performance Upgrades
This may not be the most technical write up and I'm no expert but, I figured I'd give it a try. It might hep someone :-)
