last week i just bought a 03 cummins with 111k on it. so far it has a leveling kit, bigger tires, straight piped with the stock pipe till i get some money and make it a 5inch, and a few small things here and there. im lookin at making 700+ hp once its all said and done. so now im lookin to get a air intake and not sure what to get and need some help.

 

i would get an afe intake, smarty stacked with mp-8, turbo, 90 or so hp injectors, and cp3 kit such as arson kit or bag o parts, lift pump and that should be close to your goal also with this you will need clutch or tranny upgrade, hope that helped out a little

 

make it smarty with tnt's go with 180-200 hp nozzles, dual fuelers with arson 3 on both, or an 85 over on bottom, fass or airdog. at least a single 66mm turbo or a set of towing compounds. Get a set of head studs and valve springs installed. An aftermarket camshaft would also be a nice addition. Youll deff. need to upgrade clutch/auto trans. You might or might not need the mp8 with the dual fuelers, you might could get away with just a boost fooler but, you can decide that when you start tuning. Get a set of gauges and fuel system as soon as you can.

 

thanks yea trannys gonna be the first major upgrade but right now im lookin for intake ideas.. company dry vs oil?

 

afe and s&b are popular. Its really personal preference, whatever you think looks coolest or how much do you wana spend. I like the dry filters myself. I know of a few trucks making plenty of power with the stock air box and gutted intake tubes with an aftermarket drop in filter.

 

i just recently got the s&b intake and i love it and everyone ive shown it to says it looks cool. idk how much hp it added but i agree it really is personal opinion and depends on what you do with it. hope this helped.

 

I have the AFE dry filter and it helped over stock. It was worth the money and like road runner says, ppl that have seen mine think it looks cool

 

700+ with an arson/ bag of parts and 90's?? Good luck.

OP. you need to let us know what you want to do with the truck. Weekend play toy, DD, Tow with it? If your going to drive it regularly then compounds is the ONLY way to go. for 700+ you need injectors that in the 150-200 range and dual CP3's. Nothing huge, maybe a D-max and fresh stocker. Reading is real close to me BTW, I'm in the Kutztown area.

 

its pretty much a dd and weekend toy and plan on towing a car trailer once in awhile.
