I think Fast4.8 gained a few extra horsepower with the UPD over another intake setup. I can't remember which one though. Maybe he'll chime in.

I've had one for a while now. It's been off and on several times without any problems.

So, did it make that big of a difference? Horsepower? Gas Mileage?

Not to much of a difference with gas mileage. Maybe just a tiny bit better. I drive hard though so it's hard to judge mods for mileage.

I really don't have much SOTP feel in the truck. In my car I can tell even the smallest changes but, for some reason I'm numb in the truck. It did seem to run a little harder up top. I have no solid numbers to back that up with though.

Sorry, that's the best I can tell ya.

One other thing is that it keeps intake air temperatures within 3-5 degrees of ambient at WOT. It seems to be one of the better intake setups out there for air temps.

Thanks for the information. That is really all I wanted to know.

If I remember correctly, it was about 5 more rwhp more then the KN FIPK.

Thanks for the link Shark_g. My gains may not be typical, but that's what I got.

I just ordered the Volant intake system. I looked at the UPD and I don't think it looks as nice or would work as well as the Volant but you never know. I get the Volant at cost so it runs me about the same as the UPD retail and I get a whole new air box instead of having to use my old one. And when I get more cash I can buy the cold-air tube for it. Damn thing retails for like $390 or something!
