toy4xchris,

I have a 2008 Ford 6.4 Liter and had the same question about cold air intake. Of course every brand is (and they can prove it) the best. What do you mean modify stock one? How? Did I mention i get 13.5 mpg on hwy at 70mph, 11.5 to 12mpg before the hypertech.

you can modify the stock one buy gutting the stock intake tube and buy an s&b filter or afe and clamp it on to the stock tube or you could buy some pvc pipe and make your own intake tube but most people just buy and after market one so they still have the stock one but it is up to you.

As far as the radiator size do you mean how many gallons it hold or do you mean the intercooler
