Has anyone done this. I was thinking of moving right in front of the throttle body to get more accurate results. Would there be any gains in this would it make your truck run better because its getting more accurate readings? Just wondering.

 

bigtex and oxidizr have both done it, and i believe tex said he noticed a good response gain. contact them and they can probably fill ya in

 

i relocated mine there. i noticed a little better response. plus it sounds good

 

Isn't that inlet counter productive? You are essentially injesting hot air through from the radiator thus eliminating 'cold air induction'....right?

 

not when you in the nw part of washington where it hasn't been getting over 30*. my truck runs at about 173* all the time also. have had no probs

 

Well, your COOLANT has been 173*, but your inlet temps had to have increased. Looks like the factory intake would be better than sucking in all of that hot air.

 

I wouldn't move it. My experience with mass-air vehicles is that the MAF has to be a predetermined distance from the throttle body to get an accurate vacuum signal. The ecu's are generally calibrated for such.

 

i've had it on autotap and all sensors read perfect

 

don't jack with it too much. it is true to a point the the closer it is to the tb, the more accurate it will be, but, you may encounter unwanted turbulence that will hurt you more than help you. certainly don't do it like the above pics with the heat we get in tx.
