  • How much Horsepower will the Airaid Throttle Body Spacer Add to a 2013 Toyota Tacoma
  • I spoke with my contact at Airaid and he said that the Custom Throttle Body Spacer, # AR510-624, will give your 2013 Toyota Tacoma an additional 4 to 6 ft pounds of torque and will increase horsepower by 1 to 2. Airaid also said that you will not be able to measure these gains on a dyno because they happen so low in the RPM range. If you are looking for a more substantial gain, I would recommend installing a cold air intake. We offer the Airaid Cold Air Intake System with SythaFlow...

  • Probable Performance Gains from Aftermarket Cold Air Intake
  • You ask a very reasonable question. The makers of performance-enhancing products like programmers and cold air intakes (CAIs) base their estimated performance gains on ideal best-case circumstances. In other words, they presume that the vehicle is in top shape and has no deteriorated sub-systems that would limit the gains, such as fouled plugs or a dirty fuel system. For instance, a tuner claimed to offer "up to 100 additional horsepower" that is installed in a vehicle with very worn...

  • Torque and Horsepower Gains with Airaid Cold Air Intake on a 2014 Ford F-150 with EcoBoost V6
  • Apparently the model they used to test the Airaid cold air intake # AR401-101 did not produce as much power as your 2014 F-150 with EcoBoost motor. I do know that Ford has been known to measure for horsepower and torque at the crank rather than the rear wheels so that could also be why there is a discrepancy. Airaid claims up to 26 additional horsepower and up to 40 additional feet pounds of torque regardless of the baseline HP and torque values.

  • How Much Horsepower Gain from the Airaid MXP Cold Air Intake System on a 2017 Ram 1500 with 5.7L V8
  • The Airaid MXP Cold Air Intake System part # AR300-277 which is a fit for your 2017 Ram 1500 with the 5.7L V8 engine has not yet been dyno tested by the manufacturer so exact figures cannot be provided but I can say that similar systems for your vehicle claim an increase in horsepower around 18 HP. I also recommend using the Cleaning and Oiling Kit part # AR790-550 every 30,000 to 50,000 miles to keep the system operating at peak performance. The kit is extremely easy to install and maintain....

  • Maximum and Typical Horsepower and Torque Gains from Airaid CAD Cold Air Intake System AR402-299
  • The Airaid CAD Cold Air Intake System # AR402-299 which fits your 2014 Ford F-150 with 5.0L V8 can deliver at the very most under ideal circumstances an additional 17-horse power and an additional 16-ft-lbs of torque. This means that under "typical conditions" in a "typical vehicle" you might safely expect to achieve about half of this maximum gain. It is difficult for Airaid to quote typical/average gains since they do not actually have access to hundreds of customers' vehicles to allow...

  • In Cab Sound for AFE Air Intake on 2008 Toyota Tundra
  • Whether your 2008 Toyota Tundra has a 4.7L or 5.7L, you should hear a deep, throaty sound when accelerating, but it would not be obtrusive at speed. The sound will be more noticeable when accelerating or at high RPM, but it would not have a loud, drone-like sound similar to an exhaust system.

  • Effects of Aftermarket MagnaFlow Exhaust on 2014 Grand Cherokee 5.7L V8 Power Output
  • It is easiest (for me!) to think of engine intakes, exhausts, resonators, etc. as parts of the vehicle "respiratory" system. After all, in a way an engine is simply an air pump; it "inhales" air and "exhales" exhaust. Changing any part of this system will tend to either increase or reduce the engine's ability to mix air and fuel. Power and torque are a result of air/fuel combustion and a new exhaust for instance that allows the engine to more freely release exhaust can allow better combustion...

  • Concerns About Using Air Bag Suspension in Cold Weather
  • According to Firestone And Air Lift, there aren't any special procedures needed during cold weather regarding the care and use of their air suspension and compressor products. It'd be a good idea to spray off the air bags as soon as warmer weather allows, but other than that no special care is needed for cold weather. You might find that you need a few more pounds of pressure is necessary to maintain the same level of support when the weather is cold, but other than that you'll have no issue.

  • Information and Power Gains From The AFE Air Filter on 2007 Honda Accord
  • Installing an aftermarket filter like an AFE Air Filter will allow more air to flow to the engine and has less restriction than the factory air box on your 2007 Honda Accord. With this, you may see better fuel mileage and get a few more miles per gallon. Typically with an air intake or an aftermarket filter more gains will be seen in torque rather than horsepower. There may be a minimal gain in horsepower of maybe 1 to 2 horsepower but nothing significant. There may also be an increase...

  • MaxxFan Deluxe Fan Wont Reverse
  • If your MaxxFan Deluxe fan won't reverse, it won't be the motor as that is simply power, it is likely the circuit board. If you have a MaxxFan Deluxe 00-07000K, 00-07500K, 00-08500K, 00-08700K, or 00-08900K you can replace the circuit board with the Replacement Printed Circuit Board for MaxxAir Powered Lift RV Roof Vents w/ Reversible Fan # MA10A21275K.

  • Troubleshooting Atwood Air Command Air Conditioner
  • I recommend removing the AC units shroud and ensuring there is adequate air flow. Clean the vents and fins on the unit. If this does not fix your issue, you are most likely have a low charge on coolant. You may be able to have a service tech recharge. If you need to replace the unit, I recommend the 15K Btu Atwood Air Command Rooftop RV Air Conditioner w/ Heat Pump, # AT15028-22.
