Did you notice any change? Looks to me like those drilled holes will draw hot air from under the hood. At least removing the snorkel still lets outside air be drawn in that is coming in through the grill.

Well after studying the intake I went ahead and did it. It definately sounds better and seems to have mid-RPM power improvements. I haven't driven on the freeway with the A/C on. Seems like accelerating on an uphill onramp with the A/C on I get nowhere so that will be my best chance to see if there are any improvements.

update: Well with the A/C on the truck is still a dog. Of course this is all due to the taller tires I now have. It's been over 100F lately so couple that with close to 4000 feet of altitude and this mod helps but doesn't make the 3.0 a powerhouse. With the A/C off there is a noticable improvement in acceleration at all times.
