I am very well aware that 40 ft lbs is ridiculous, I think those are over rated stats for large truck engines, and is just a genaric description used on all kits. That is typically the application volant makes cai for (truck engines). I dont like the cai off ebay and they are very hard to come by now a days. Unless you have a 05-08 v6. I like volant but the only problem I have with it is, on the volant web site and on all the sellers web sites i have found there is only one kit for 96-02. As most of you know the intakes change between my model 96-98 and 99-02. Also the vacuum line and the iat are at different locations on the 96-98 and 99-02. It can be made to work but there is only one part number on all the sites, no separate part numbers for 96-98 and 99-02. They seem like a very reputable company but im wary of purchasing it and then find out they meant to put 99-02. Hopefully the kit has a separate elbow for the 96-98 model that extends the intake tube to reach the 96-98 throttle body. All the pictured intakes on the site I linked to are for 99-02 applications.
So basically I don't know if I should buy it or not. I know its only like 3hp but I would rather pay the money and have a kit that I like the looks of than have a generic shiny metal intake like everyone else.
