Default Procharger fbod intake hat?
Does anybody know of someone who makes a completely new intake hat for the fbods? Ive heard guys are picking up more boost and more power just from changing it. I know people are putting new fitlers on the end of the stock hat but, I was wondering if they made a whole new intake all together that was better? any info would be great

Some people use the truck hat from procharger but I don't think there is room with the Twin intercoolers. Other than that I would think you need to cut the lower rad support and more the rad forward to clear a metal 4" elbow. Do NOT use a rubber elbow. Unless you want to buy a new blower. Ask me how I know

dschmittie1 can you use a rubber elbow by the throttle body on low boost and still be ok?

At 7 psi of boost I don't think you're going to see an increase in power by swapping out the inlet hat. FYI: KP on here ran his old T/A into the 8's in the 1/4 with the stock inlet hat. Bob
