will removing my inner fender wells hurt anything ? im trying to lower my engine bay temp, and was considering just running without, but also heard that it will act like a big parachute and slow me down some what. is this tru ?

I see no point in doing this, not to mention that any time you run through a puddle or it rains, every thing is gona get soaked..

How hard is it to remove the inner fenders? I wanna install my Dynatechs sometime next week and heard removing them make it easier.

Not hard at all. A few bolts, plastic fasteners.. Thats the way I put my headers on, it def makes it easier

Yea, I saw your build, that is intense. Wish I had the money for a blower, but it's a daily driver. I got a LQ4 that I am doing up, looking at options now, reading threads. Might do a stroker with a L92 top end. I wanna keep the 4L65 and AWD, make like a 450-500hp goal.

Get your headers jet-hot coated - that'll reduce underhood temps

Haven't seen any tests on this, but I'm sure the effects would be negligible. Except for the extra debris that gets in your engine bay, that won't be negligible. lol

its gonna let air come from under and through wheels wells. but air already goes through. you have a cowl hood, remove the rubber piece in between hood and firewall and leave it at that. dont take fender wells off

I run without mine, simply because I'm too cheap and lazy to go buy all the new plastic fasteners. Most got ruined when removed.

I don't put hardly any miles on my truck though. It's an 06 and has 20k miles on it.
