How to choose a high performance fuel injection kit for your truck
The price of gas is starting to get more and more expensive as the price of gas increases, many people are looking for accessories to add to their truck in order to improve gas mileage. There aren’t many accessories that can really help save fuel, but many people are starting to look for ways to increase their power by using cold air intake systems.
High performance cold air intake systems help engines run on air by trapping and filtering the air that is drawn into the engine. Most regular fuel injected vehicles have a filter that is not a filter mounted in the gap on top of the engine as car and truck carburetors have. With a cold air intake system there is usually some type of divider that separates how the air is filtered and goes into the engine. These intake systems provide cool air that is drawn in through the truck’s grille; this is a more attractive option than getting hot air under the hood. Because cold air is more dancing, it’s better for your fuel injector and willing hands on your truck’s horsepower.
You can purchase performance kits that include all the hardware you’ll need to install your cold air intake system. In reality, installing the cold air intake system may not take very long for someone who knows what they are doing; a skilled mechanic should be able to complete the task in just a couple of hours.
When the cold air intake system has been installed, you may hear air entering the filter. When you go slow you may only hear a small noise, but as you go faster you will hear a much louder roar. Most people who have a cold air intake system actually think this roar is a pretty good sound and don’t find it very annoying.
Many manufacturers claim that if you use a cold air intake system, you will actually get better gas mileage out of your truck. But unfortunately there isn’t any solid documentation to prove this fact. So for now the only reason to install a cold air intake system is because they are better for your engine and if you like that cool roar you get when going fast.
If you’re not a mechanic and still want to get a cold air intake system, try visiting your local mechanic and ask if they think it would be a good fit for your truck. You may also want to check and see if anyone else already has a cold air intake system on their truck that you might possibly see or hear about having one installed on their truck.
With the price of gas going up, any little thing you do to help save gas and save money is a great idea. Although the cold air intake system has not been shown to reduce gas mileage, many people have done their own experiments with it and asked if they get better gas mileage with the cold air intake system installed on their truck.
