That intake looks awesome. What do you think If i just took and drilled a bunch of 5/32" holes in the bottom of the air box below the filter? Would that work alright, or would it mess things up?

I also would like to get talk going about the 3.0's too, because most everyone says they suck, but if you build one and know what your doing they can be pretty powerful motors.

I was just reading today on a different board about a guy that is in the process of putting 5vz heads on his 3vz off a camary and stuff...we'll see how that turns out.

I hope I have a little more power over stock at least. I have been reading alot about the intake on these 3.0's though, and all i've read is they suck and you need to do something about them, so thats what I'm going to do as soon as i get my truck done in a couple more days. Then my next mod will be headers, but prolly not for a couple more months.

So it sounds like what i'm going to do is just run dino oil in it for the first 500 miles, drain everything and go with full synthetic and a new toyota filter. Anyone have experience with full synthetic, what brand is good or you would reccommend?

Edit-Yakima is prolly 3, 4 hour drive?? I'm not really sure actually, What would be a town in the middle we could meet at maybe?
