Default redlines and falls flat
So I lowered my truck recently and added the Volant air system with the air scoop. Now when I floor it the truck goes to 6000rpms and of course falls flat! I didn't make any other changes and before this it has always ran excellent. I think i'm missing something simple???I know lowering it wont affect performance but why would the Volant?

its a NNBS 2007 w/5.3L

Well, easy thing first, did you hook the MAF back up?

It's due to changing how the air flows through the MAF. It will need a basic tune.

thanks! who do you recommend?? I'm assuming I'll notice even more gains from a good tune even above fixing the MAF problem?

Thanks again

MAF is correct, the arrow is pointing towards the TB.

I just have a hard time thinking that adding a Volant system makes me need a tune. But if that's the case I'll do that
