Intake manifold (elbow)

**Stumblefoot** · #1 11-14-2008, 08:24 PM

Has anybody put on a new less restrictive elbow? If so what kind and how did it work for you? I'm looking for better MPG, faster spooling turbo, more power, you know the normal stuff

Thanks, I see you have a throttle body spacer on your 6.0, did it do much for you? I'm trying to get better fuel mileage, and lower egts, and faster turbo spooling, of course this comes with more power too-always a good thing

, our results may be a bit different, you will be using a winter blend up there in Canada, I dont need it down in central Texas. -

I did all the upgrades to my truck in one weekend so I couldnt really tell you if the spacer alone did anything for me. Once the turbo kicks in it sure has more punch, but it has damn near the same amount of lag before it finally kicks in after you put it to the floor. -

a throttle-body spacer is basically a waste of money on a diesel engine... save the cash and put it towards another mod

I put a CFM + on mine and noticed a faster spool up, didn't do it for better mileage. I also had to remove the butterfly valve below the old elbow. I've heard of some guys throwing codes after doing this mod but I had zero problems.

Well I hadnt planned on larger intercooler and plumbing. This is my DD not a race truck or a pull truck. I do pull a 18" utility trailer. I'm basically looking for better fuel economy and better throttle response. -

Put an egg under the go-pedal and try not to break the egg

I know from experience that Innovative tunes on an SCT good better mileage if you drive em nice, but also have all kinds of power if you smash the go-pedal down. -

Ive heard some good things about the SCT, I have the Bully Dog PMT, its helped alot so has the AFE cold air kit. I normally poke along at 60-65mph dont blow smoke on take off, and generally take it pretty easy. That being said its real easy to light the tires and roll coal, and I quit at 135mph, the truck had more. I did have to make sure everything works the way its supposed to.

I average between 18-20 mph and would like it to be better -

It's more than just good things about SCT..... It is the best that you can do for a 6.0 truck. I did a ton of research before buying it for my truck and that is why I got the SCT, WITH INNOVATIVE TUNES! -
