High flow intake?

Very simple question... Is it worth putting something like a K&N intake on? Or is it not going to make much difference. I have the Flowmaster 50 series on right now and was thinking that maybe I could get a little better power and/or fuel econ. if i opened up the breathing a little bit, now that the exhale is there.

 

Buddy of mine told me the 6.0L had a pretty nice intake already.

I added the Airaid MIT tube to mine along with the Amsoil Air Filter. It keeps the stock box, but the tube is smoother with no resonator. Not bad for $100. On the other hand, I did not see any MPG improvements, and felt no additional power from it. It was prob just a small increase that I couldn't feel.

That's exactly what I did but I went with a K&N filter instead. Looks a little cleaner under the hood but I didn't feel any change in power.

 

I have an Amsoil filter in my T/A and I don't really like it. IMO, it was overoiled from the factory and I can't get the filter to quit dripping oil. I have tried K%N cleaner but it didn't touch the Amsoil filter oil. Do you have any ideas on how to get it cleaned (I don't want it coat my MAF with oil)?

If it's a cone type filter, stuff it with crumpled up newspaper to absorb the oil. If it's a panel type, set down on newspapers and put more on top. make sure the filter element is touching the newspaper. It will wick all the excess oil out in a day or two.

Mine didn't seem like it had too much oil when I put it in. I haven't had to clean mine yet, but will in December. I did see Amsoil has a new cleaner/oil out for their filters now. I was just figuring it was about the same as the K&N stuff.

      The Peckish Synapse

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
