Good to hear, I guess BigBlue shoud have his in soon also.

 

Mine's in. Just got to pick it up.

 

what actual advantage is there for going from stock to scotty?

 

?

 

Herb, try a search for scotty system and all your Q's will be answered.

 

drop in egt's
cleanable air filter

 

ccccooooollll air

 

Well my truck had about 175 of them.........that was the degree's of EGT reduction I got with the cowl hole cut.

 

Going from stock to Scotty, you probably won't notice to much of a difference. If you've got some extra ponies under the hood, you'll notice a BIG difference in EGT's.

 

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.

 

i tow a lot not heavy but LOTS of wind resistance. have the ez edge

 

I'm putting the Scotty on my truck because of what I have planned for my truck later on down the road.

 

I can't comment on whether you'll benefit strongly or not- but one thing to be consiered is turbo noise or music. Depending on personal taste you'll hear more of one of the both with a Scotty 2 than with the stok air filter. IMHO the BHAF was somewhere inbetween stock and Scotty2 for sound levels.
I do like mine very much and wouldn't want to be caught without it.

However a TAG will greatly reduce that turbo noise! I would venture to say my TAG reduced turbo noise by MORE than 50%.
