I used to use that Marvel on my old K 5 Blazer. Knocked the knock right outta it
Seafoam has it's detractors, Scotty...I suppose like just about anything. But many people have used it from tiny little weed whacker motors up to big old V-8s...and have been happy with the results.Like I said earlier, if this stuff didn't work, trust me it wouldn't be selling. BTW, I even have a bottle of Marvel Mystery Oil in the shop. If that doesn't sound like something a snake oil salesman would try to pitch, I don't know what does!!
im running a stock airbox/filter on my f250 6.0L... most of the guys on the powerstroke forums agree that the stock airbox and filter for the 6.0L has more than enough flow to support up to 450-500 hp, they say at that point is when you'd need to switch to a better intake... so i will continue to run the stock filter as my turbo stays nice and clean and i dont plan on pushing the truck much past 400 hp once i get the head studs and head gaskets done... im also happy with my mileage, ive been getting 12-13 mpg city with a lead foot, and 19-21 mpg highway at 70-75 mph...
I had a K5, '78, 350. Excellent truck, but traded it on (Scott and Aaron will love this) an F-150...
ive got 143,300 on my 6.0, it was a one owner from Arkansas and as far as i and my mechanic could tell, original head gaskets, and injectors. i do know the turbo was replaced. when i took it to my mechanic for a new oil cooler, egr delete, and a few other odds and ends, he said the motor was spotless inside and out... ive been thinking about getting the diesel site "wicked wheel 2" for my 6.0. they say it has a noticeable gain on the low end and mid range power, less lag, more boost, less drive preasure, lower egt's... and its only 230 bucks, cant hurt to try it... otherwise ive been thinking about getting the sinister diesel hot and cold side intercooler pipes and intake elbow just for a little bit of bling... ww2http://www.dieselsite.com/dieselsitewic ... rbo-2.aspxsinister pipeshttp://www.mkmcustoms.com/sinisterdiese ... dium=emailelbowhttp://www.mkmcustoms.com/sinisterdiese ... elbow.aspx
i know the wicked wheel for the 7.3 doesnt make much of a difference, but on the smaller displacement 6.0 guys are posting on powerstroke.org, it made a noticeable difference. dieselsite installed one on a 6.0 with a stock turbo and stage one injectors( im guessing 155cc?)http://www.powerstroke.org/forum/6-0l-performance-parts-discussion/364370-wicked-wheel-oem-6-0-turbo-4.html
Marc, Scotty has a Tahoe with the 5.3 I believe. There are some engines that simply don't benefit from a cold air intake, my Maxima is one of them. I'e done the research, the HP gains are minimal and occur at such high revs that I would never see them. Interesting that the oil from the filter guimmed up your IAC and TPS. For those that may not know, that's Idle Air Control valve and Throttle Position Sensor...both residing in the throttle body.I did some quick research on the use of the K&N on Scotty's Tahoe, their site stated an 11 HP gain at something like 5300 RPM...somehow I don't think Scotty's going to be seeing those kind of revs anytime soon!
