Message:
which one will i see more of an effect on MOG for the better. I am preparing to start moding up my truck so this is where I have read I need to start(intake). I hate to say it but I am after MPG first and power second. I know it sounds stupid and crazy but I am only getting 14 mpg city and have had tunups and alignment and ignition upgrade and nothing has helped. so which one should i get CAI or a edlebrock air cleaner (10 in) with a K&N element

I have a question about the round element, what do you do with the hose from the valve cover to the air hat?

if you look on side of your intake manifold you will see a black vacuum cover cap, remove that and plug it in there.

MPG for either a round open element or a CAI, well lets see here i have had both on my truck and right now i have the round open element on mine, I like the sound that i get off the engine from it and i think it looks more bad a$$ when you pop the hood.
I drought you will see and MAJOR or MINOR increases from doing either. CAI though should give you a better MPG though if we take a look a physics, if you dont have a cowl hood or a ram air hood of that type.
I say dont worry about this, if you ever plan on doing a SC setup or turbo set up on your dakota then put in a CAI it will be cheaper in the long run. Yet if you want a NA engine, then a open element in my option is bad a$$.
