I tow a boat that's about 5k lbs fully loaded and haven't noticed a single problem with the Brute Force on. I did gain about 1 MPG while towing after I added my exhaust and intake, but no problems.Mcgruff465 said:

I've heard that it could change torque specs and be a waist of money instead of an advantage. I would love to purchase one, but don't want to make a mistake............any thoughts?
Thanks, Mcgruff :gunz:
When you say nothing changed, are you saying you couldn't feel any performance change after all those mods while towing?tow a camper somtimes when we use it to take somewheres, I have a k&n intake, jba exhaust,helix tbs and a tune, nothing seem to have changed while towing for me
I can definitely tell you that stock trucks/cars from the factory run so rich that an intake will not lean it out that much. Not enough to burn or damage your pistons anyway. There is nothing wrong with an aftermarket intake system, the only problem is the noise. It's loud under wot and just as loud under load. If you can stand the noise it produces under load then have some fun. I personally would just go with a k&n filter if I was towing a pretty big rig. The noise gets pretty annoying over time. WOT is another story though.Mcgruff465 said:I guess I should have explained a little better, but my concern is that with with adding the after market intake, the mixture would run to lean and cause piston burn over time. That's something I definately don't want. If that's a possibility, i would rather use a K&N drop in filter and be done with it.
Any thoughts?

Well I dont have the BT package on my titan. I just got a drawtite put on to tow our camper which I dont tow very much. Hard for me to tell because i tow very often and im new to towing and all and never really towed many things before. All I know is it pulls our camper fine and a few other said the same so im satisified lolloufish said:When you say nothing changed, are you saying you couldn't feel any performance change after all those mods while towing?
Thanks for the Info. EVO8! I will probably go with the K&N drop in. It's alot cheaper, and I don't think the family could handle noise.EVO8 said:I can definitely tell you that stock trucks/cars from the factory run so rich that an intake will not lean it out that much.

Where do you get your info?I can definitely tell you that stock trucks/cars from the factory run so rich that an intake will not lean it out that much.
I was just going to let it go... but yeah.. O2 sensors and air flow meters???loufish said:Where do you get your info?
They run rich for max power under WOT, but other then that they're not rich at all...They also have the ability to compensate and run richer or leaner as needed.
Want to bet?Zdr93523 said:AEM is by far the best intake manufacturer out there. I have 10+ years in the import aftermarket and no intake can touch AEM for quality or performance.
