6.7L Power Stroke Intake
S&B Filters has released one of the highest flowing air intakes on the market for ’11 Ford Super Dutys. Its system provides a 34 percent airflow improvement over stock. According to S&B, its system pulls air from the factory location, which allows for use of the OE ducting for an excellent seal. A reinforced, four-ply, silicone adapter securely connects the intake tube to the turbo inlet as well. 6.7L Power Stroke Intake Systems are offered with either a dry or cleanable (oiled) air filter and retail for just $289.

Duramax Girdle kits
Pursuing big horsepower with your Duramax? It’s no secret that engines using a main bearing girdle can handle more power. Industrial Injection’s 14mm Gorilla Girdles for the 6.6L are said to decrease friction in the main bearing bore, provide improved alignment of the piston and crankshaft bores, and stabilize the bottom end of the block. In addition, load is evenly distributed across the main bearing caps, virtually eliminating main cap walk. All girdles are CAD-designed and machined using a CNC mill and lathe.
