aFe 54-11022 Ford 6.0L Power Stroke
Install, battery box & air box replacement.
13hp and 67 torque improvement. Stage two
 aFe
did it again. The 7.3L Power Stroke battery box replacement version has
been out for a while. Now aFe has done the same powerful version for the
6.0L with the biggest gain in power you'll see from a cold air intake
system. aFe intake systems are
permanent filters. You just clean them, treat them and keep on using
them. This filter has the pleated filter in the end also for increased
air volume. The factory system is so limiting compared to the aFe open
all around filter. Air volume is the goal here. According to aFe, the
extra torque from this intake kit, is in the lower R.P.M. band where the
Ford needs it. The 7.3L Power Stroke, had a torque peak at 1600 R.P.M.,
but the 6.0L Power Stroke is at 1800 R.P.M.
Stage two, means you replace the intake tube
to the turbo also. This allows maximum air flow, with smooth connections
inside the pipe. aFe does this well, with beveled connections. The air
tubes are molded plastic, which is easier to angle around the engine
compartment than metal as well as staying cooler.

If you plan on modifying your trucks
power more, this product will be a key in having the extra oxygen to
make it work.
As usual, it takes about twice as long for
the average person to install a cai as the instructions state. I took us
about 2 hours. Fitting the rubber hoses between the turbo and the filter
was the most difficult part. It's just a tight fit. I would complain
more with a loose fit. The battery cable hole in the filter box was off
about an inch. We used the filter minder (dirt indicator) again, some
folks get rid of this with a permanent filter, but I like a warning
system. This fit tight also. Air
mass sensor was easy to move to the new housing. The old battery box,
cover and brackets all go. The new air box will hold the new filter and
battery. We didn't use the battery cable bracket that came with the kit.
Installing aftermarket accessories requires common sense.

Stock filter, what
a waste, throwing the center section away at each filter change. |
