Hold up here! Am I reading this right? The fresh/cold air intake will
give me more horsepower but less mpg? I was under the impression (don't
know why.) that the cold/fresh air would help out my fuel economy!? (That
was before I got all this info swimming around in my head!) So I WANT
"warm" air if I'm shooting for better fuel economy? (Uh, Oh, Maybe daddy
was right! DAMN!! :-)
So tell me if I'm right. I want better fuel economy, so instead of
running my "better breathing" intake up to the grill (which on the 4.7L
will be quite easy because there's no shroud and about a 5" or so gap
between the radiator and fender that just lets all kinds of fresh air in.)
I want to set it farther back to get the warmer air? Or should I just
forget about the mod all together? Hmmmmmm.
--TIA, Nate
