Interesting feedback, Joe. I'm reasonably certain I gained about 0.5 mpg in highway driving with the Gotts mod. But, as you say, there are MANY factors that effect this, and one tank of gas isn't really a fair test. I came up with my 0.5 figure comparing two trips of about 1,000 miles, but even that has variables that could alter the results.
I DO know that those of us here that are "close" to PHP are firm believers in the Gotts mod. It is certainly possible that a correctly designed commercial intake could beat it performance wise, but the difference would be minimal and would hardly justify the additional expense. I agree though, the commercial CAIs look kind of "cool". - Jack |

Well, I've decided to keep the Gotts, 400 bucks for something only slightly better just isnt worth it. I'm going to put a k&n filter in place of the paper one but thats about it. The major reason I'm doing anything to this truck is for fuel economy thats how I'm justifying it anyway. A ten dollar mod has a much better return on investment than a 400 dollar one. Next project is a flex a lite monster fan. I got most of it installed this afternoon. Just have to hook up all the wires in the morning and them im in business.

Yep, if you gain JUST 1 average mpg it will probably be paid for after about 4 tanks.
