lets talk intakes

all right guys for the 1997 stroker, which intake is best and why?

Or is the stock system with a high flow filter the best because it ducts the cold "ram" Air?

Open paper element hands down the best air flow and best filtration you can achieve.

 

[res0wc18]

so like the tymar, and not the synthetics like the kn setup etc?

Why?

 

[towcat]

do a search for "BHAF" and you'll find many homebuilt setups that cost a fraction of the fancy kits.

As stated, you'll get better airflow and better filtration with a paper element over anything else out there, period.

The bench flow tests have been done numerous times, filtration and flow with a paper element is superior to the "reusable" element type.

With the reusable type , filtration is at its best when it is nearly 100% plugged at which point you take it out, wash it in detergent and re-oil it which puts it back to its most efficient flow but least efficient filtration.

but what are we suppose to do with the air temp sensor when we do a tymar type intake?

 

[res0wc18]

im not finding anything when i search

 

[res0wc18]

that search doesnt work worth nothing. i searched for tymar intake and it couldnt find that either.

by the way towcat the woman is gorgeous in your avatar.

How do you put pics in there?

 

[res0wc18]

wasnt there some where on this site to find the tymar types etc?

links?

the problem with open air setup is as opposed to factory in 94-97 is the intake temperature is from under the hood with no intercooler to add density to the air

 

[res0wc18]

i have the full banks intercooler.

 

[childildersj76]

if you have the full banks powerpack it should come with an intake system they put alot of research into everything they do, and told me the only restriction in the 94-97 stock intake was the stock tubing. But I'm not saying it can't be improved.

Banks is full of $hit.

All you do with the IAT sensor is zip tie it to the inner fender.
