few questions

[ZeroGravity58]

i was wondering if there is anyone who runs without fender on a daily driver. If not has anyone cut the inside of them out? Also im putting on a new dart aluminum intake this weekend what should i torque the bolts up to i dont remember? How much of a diffrence you think i will see with the Dart kool can intake over the old performer i have?

10 hp or so maybe 15 if your lucky.it actually may not benefit you as you redline at 5500 and this intake flows to 6500, is definately a better intake though.

ive only taken my truck to 5,500 but im sure i could take it past that but i just havent yet.

having no wheel tubs on a street truck is looking for trouble, yu would have to clean the engine every day.

if id didnt take them out could i trim them just so i left the top part in it? that would stop water from going all in my engine compartment but it would also open it up alittle bit.

[wild85]

I would think that it would still make a mess. I know that where parts of the wheel well are open, water and dirt still makes its way toward the engine at that angle.

this is true...thanks for the input.
