Dual Air intake?

[I-rocsilverado]

I think this is the best place to post this question.

 

I've been reading where a lot of folks are putting larger inlet tubes on there trucks to get more air in. But what about a dual air inlet. My thinking (layout/construction wise) would be to find another 14 air box (or any other year that would fit) and put it where the second battery would go. Just pull out the tray and seat the box there. Then make a tubing setup for both boxes to run into then straight to the Throttle body. I know the MAF sensor location may be problematic but you could put a slot after the tubes combine.

 

What do y'all think?

Why when a single inlet provides ore air than the engine can use with any of the current CAI that are out? You don't need to worry about more air until you have an engine capable of needing more air than the current snorkel setup can provide.

You wouldn't gain a thing. For one, you can't simply relocate the MAF, there is a lot of engineering behind where they put it and there is no reason to essentially double your air intake on an otherwise stock engine. The fuel system could never supply enough to take advantage of the additional air.

I think you might create some issues splicing in two MAF's. I don't see you putting out any more power.

 

You would be better off trying to extend the stock snorkel to the front of the truck...

Also you only have one throttle body. It is already sucking as much as it can

I'll give you the credit for thinking outside of the box. That's a hotroder thought process. If what you want isn't offered, build it. Anyone can get off the shelf. Even if the gains aren't there. I like the thinking outside the box.

I guess my thinking is just based off of my previous car. I had an 85 camaro and some of those generation had a dual air snorkel and had some differences in power. I know we're talking about 2 totally different vehicles with 2 totally different setups but I figured if I didn't ask I'd never know

If I recall correctly, had an 89 iroc, it the dual snorkel because it was a low profile design to fit under the hood. But mine was also a TPI 305.

Still have an '86 IROC-Z, all original, very low miles. Tuned Port Fuel Injection on mine, and there was a carbureted version as well. You could order that year either way.

The factory tune/calibration has the software built in for 2 mafs, so that would lead me to believe that there may be pinouts for 2 mafs. There is always the option of ditching the MAF and running speed density. Although this is something that I see no real benefit from, I think it may be possible.
