I won't even suggest purchasing a Scotty II unless you are doing one or more of the following:
1] You are stock but tow heavy. 100F reduction
2] You are mildly modified and tow lots. 100-150F reduction
3] You are heavily modified and have addressed your turbo if its beyond its efficiency limits. 150-200F reduction and even higher depending on the trucks BOMBs.
I do not suggest the Scotty II for stock non towing trucks.
I think the cost outweighs the benefit and a BHAF or even a replacement panel filter would suffice until you are in the 350HP or higher range or the points listed above.
