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.

The 05 is back up and running again. Just driving it around town back and forth to work breaking in the engine. Waiting on a few parts to arrive. So far, it's driving good. Boost testing/tuning will start after the parts arrive, installed and the engine is broke in.

And make sure all of the spark plugs look even and not fowling...
So, have around 250 miles on the engine. Did kinda of a short rolling test hit after going over a speed bump. Didn't even get into boost. She's running surprisingly stronger at the lower to mid rpm range. That's where I wanted it to run better. Normally, it doesn't pull that strong until it gets into boost. Starting to let it get into a few psi of boost for a short time as part of the engine break-in. Happy with the results so far. (y)

Also happy with no oil leaks. The OCP intake manifold had a casting flaw that caused it to leak oil. OCP would not replace the intake manifold... That's the other reason why I swapped over to a Holley Hi-Ram. So far, it hasn't been acting funny. And that's with the 80lb (straight solid stream spray pattern) injectors.

Still not brave enough to cut the cowl making room for a plenum intercooler...

I don't think I would either.
It would fit under the hood using the 3.25" plenum intercooler. $1300. plus fabrication to the cowl.
Though I would be the first to have a 05, turbo 392 Hemi, intercooled Hi-Ram with a/c street truck...

Wanted to see if there was room to mod the cowl. The glass laying inside the cowl reminded me that this truck has been wrecked before. It won't hold any value to speak of. The cowl can be modified to make room for the Hi-Ram intercooler. And it will fit under the hood. (y)

This will be the Intercooler. Like that it will be out of my way while doing maintenance on the engine.

That can't be mounted out in front behind the bumper?
It goes directly in the intake manifold itself air blows right thru it. Mine will be something like 6” thick lol. Hood will be cut up most likely with it sticking up thru. Stu will be nice and hidden.

stu look into the “killer chiller” you will like that

Thanks Keith. I'll check that out.

Well, the intercooler is in there. But, the firewall will have to be modified to make room to be able to install and tighten down the allen bolts. There is no room to install the allen bolts on the lower intercooler mounting flange at the firewall side.
