3L+ blower guys what intake setup you running?

Hey guys. For the people running big blowers what Throttle body do you have, what intake do you have and what air filter? I am trying to figure out a Better CAI for my 3.6LC with a healthy amount of boost.

This is what I have now:

I have a kb 4.2 and I’m using the gimme 5 intake and the mono blade 168mm tb and its working just fine.

I have a whipple 4.0. Whipple 170mm throttle body and a jlt 149mm.

Twin 75mm KB TB, Gimme 5 intake tube, JLT heat shield and S&B Powerstack cone filter. I did it that way because I didn't like how open the Gimme 5 was to underhood heat (the heat shield doesn't seal to the hood). After driving it for awhile with both setups, I can't say I feel a difference either way.

Do you know which S&B Powerstack? As you can see mine is a version of the Gimmie 5 and I hate how exposed to engine bay also.

Godstang, I ordered it directly from S&B. In hindsight...I'm not sure the JLT shield makes much of a difference. I look at my IAT1s and when you are in traffic, inevitably they creep up just like they did with the Gimme 5 setup. I think the bastardized version is easier on the eyes, so I am running it that way.

If you want the JLT shield, Lethal Performance sells it separate for 55 bucks I think.

I never get around to reading the posts you type. I always wonder if you have a handlebar moustache.

Hahahaha! No, I just like to embody the Louisiana Mustang-driving redneck stereotype. I work in an office, shave clean, and wear khakis like Jake from State Farm.

Thanks for the info. You are running the R1274 which is one of the ones I was looking at a long with R1302. I am worried the metal Gimme 5 is bringing in extra heat. My problem is I am an 03 Cobra with a GT500 3.6L. I don’t know if the shield would work on my car. I have called vendors and they don’t want to be bothered.

My gimme 5 had a heat shield that came with it, but it kinda only covers the bottom and side of the filter. Are you running that same shield?

No I have zero shield.

Ahh, ok. I hear what you're saying then. Well, if you need me to measure anything on mine, let me know. I had thought about fabbing something, but I wanted it to look professional. Did you talk to KB tech support? Mike is always helpful...he might have a suggestion.

I’ve got a hybrid that works better than anything I’ve used before. Half Ford GT and half JLT. Basically using the JLT for a MAF housing and the Ford GT for a perfect seal on the KB Mono. And 4.7KB.

Nice setup. Can't argue with a 6 speed daily driver in the 8's. Where'd you get the heat shield and how well does it work?

Holy crap that’s beautiful! What filter and what shield and what is the ID on the JLT MAF housing?

It’s the Kenne Bell shield that I got when I upgraded from the 3.6 to the 4.7. I had to cut it a lil bit but it seems to work awesome. Of course I have a cowl hood and I cut and reinstalled the factory vents but my intake 2’s stay pretty manageable in warm weather, stop and go driving.

The filter and MAF if from the JLT 150 intake. I just cut the junk off the top of it. The shield is the Kenne Bell shield.

KB 3.6 here. I was going to run the 150 JLT but ended up going with KBs set up. TB is KBs big twin. I still have the JLT NIB - shoot me a PM if interested.
