 Subject: Why not switch to a v8 airhat?
IP: Logged
Message:
Awhile back I bought a used V8 throttle body. I cut and smoothed off the horns that surround the two holes so it looks like a fastman throttle body. Im still using the same airhat that comes stock with on a 3.9 v6 engine. My question is, wouldn't it be better to use a v8 airhat because of the 4 inch diameter that it uses over the 3 inch v6 airhat? Some times when I smash the gas I hear a loud pop coming from my engine. I believe the v8 throttle body might be sucking in too much air all at once that the 3 inch tubing that im using for my intake can't handle. Does anybody agree with this, or am I completly wrong. If im right where is good place to purchase a v8 airhat?

I forgot to mention about switching all the pipes that make up the intake to 4 inch diameter. My truck stumbles when i florr it from a stand still. I believe when the butterflies open its ready for all this air but cant get it from the smaller piping. I dunno. All opinions and help are appreciated.

you stumble because a ported v8 TB is to much for a mild V6. if you ported the tq step out of it you opened it up to almost a full 50mm, stock v6 is only 44mm.
5.9 &5.2 v8 & 3.9 v6 use the same air hats, boxes and filters

i did the same to a v8 tb but ported it out
even took out the blades n shaft &the idle was a
little erratic[ people used to ask me if i had
cam in it] it only popped when it was std
so iported the v6 tb but not as agressive ,with a 4"cold air tube but when you blip the throttle
let the needle settle stab it again n youll
catch it out think i,ll save it till i put
rockers on may be it will warrnt the extra air
