Fair enough, Steve. But I dont see the cost out weighing performance. Head work would be more of a benefit in my opinion. The intake has a lot of volume to go through before it becomes an issue.
Its not about moving enough air its about moving enough air more efficiently. I Would like to see some graphs from a 6.0 that shows removing this tube verses having it improves airflow. Just to satisfy my curiosity because I wont just accept that im wrong with out seeing proof of what you claim.
