Default Got my Volant from Tbyrne today

ordered it Tuesday night and got her today! Quick service!

Very high qualify peice(nothing cheaply made about it). Install took about 25mins maybe? Hardest part was getting the rubber peice off the stock MAF! Everything bolts right down into place perfect and the intake tube was a perfect fit also.

Performance gains: Kinda hard to feel 10hp if that lol, but you can hear the truck sucking more air in upper rpms. I want to say i noticed a gain down low at certain rpms since traction was a little swirly on the wet road today

very good peice.. I was debating between the AEM, K&N, pro cold, and the king cobra.. im happy with this peice now so i guess i made the right choice lol

I have a Volant system on my VHO. I'm still waiting on the ram air tube to get to me from Volant.
I really didn't notice much of a gain either.
Maybe it's time for FAI!!!!
Will be getting the Allen Nelson's tune and a few dyno runs on April 2nd.
Hope the gains are like everyone's saying!! Or there could be some to be had!!

i think most just have the.. hey i did a mod, its faster seat of pants feeling lol.

Im know on the cars, if you can feel anything below 20hp then you must have a sensitive buttometer lol..

i cant just tell the trucks sucking more air and it feels a lil stronger towards the top of every gear, espically down low

i'd be happy if I got 7-13hp outta it lol I know its gotta be better than that stock POS box
