It was time to change out the air filter that was on the 05 when I bought it. Never really liked this type of air filter system.

Dam! Never have seen a TB this dirty.... Surprised it runs as good as it does.

All better now. This engine needs an oil catch can.

I have one on my 03 Sharadon stage III trans too. The 05 is shifting a little firmer now.

It fools the line pressure sensor in the trans to raise the trans oil pressure up a little more than what it normally runs. Puts more oil pressure on the trans clutches for firmer shift and less slippage making them last a little longer.

Hey Keith, what would be the best way to get a good workable boosted base tune for the 5.7 in the 05? Could the STS tune work in the 05?

The reason why I ask this question. Been doing allot of reading up on tuning a supercharged/turbocharged 392/410/418/426 stroker engines. Even on 05 pcms, it has proven a challenge with a boosted stroker engines. Not many of them have gone well. Only the one's with the tuning easily available to them or they have lots of money.... But yet, the ones with a boosted 5.7/348 engines have been much more successful at a good tune. And lets face it, my 392 has been a pain in the a$$ to say the least.

It made me a little too psycho......


Don't want to go through that tuning nightmare or act like that again.........
