I hear time and time again "I put a cold air intake on my truck and noticed zero difference".
Of course you didn't!! The computer wasn't calling for more air. Even a less restrictive exhaust won't help. But add a tuner to the mix and all 3 work together putting a big grin on your face!!
6.2 does not "need" ANY "mods", it has an intake/filter which can easily flow MORE than that engine will ever be able to process.
The exhaust system is ALSO plenty large enough to handle the what the engine can put out and more..
It is a well designed setup that only the over the top gear heads can't believe that no mods are needed.
Yes, it is not a 6.7 diesel and yes, it is not turbo charged like a Eco Boost but it DOESN'T COST AS MUCH TO BUY UPFRONT as either of those other two.
But it DOES already have plenty of grunt, that grunt is UNDER control via the torque management system and other than being heavy handed in the control department it tows like a dream ONCE you "learn" how it really works..
I have towed as much as 9K with mine and you still can't wipe the smile off my face.
Best part of all is it cost me nearly $10,000 LESS than a 6.7 and $8,000 less than a F150 Eco boost..
