    Sup guys, im new here and i just got a 04 srt10, i add a Volant cold air intake but at soon as went i went to the street i noticed that i lost power,torque and the gas pedal is stiff
    After 3.5k rpm's the pedal get hard to push it
    And in the freeway it doesn't let me go more that 100 mph
    I decide to put the stock airbox back, but is the same thing
    I already try to change the air temperature sensor but u did not saw a difference
    Any one has any idea what i can do
    Thanks...

    Have another look at how you put your throttle cable back on.

    Remove your air-tube going into the throttle body and take a video of your throttle blades (with your phone?) to make sure when you put your gas pedal to the floor, the throttle blades are wide open.

    The first 2 pics obviously i did it by hand, but when i try to hit the pedal it was so hard and it doesn't let me go all the way
    The TB just barely opened the blades but just a little bit
    I opened the switch with the engine being off to see if their was a difference but same thing, the pedal was still really stiff it won't even let me step on it half way down

    Make sure your throttle cable goes straight out, runs ON TOP OF THE CURVED PORTION OF THE THROTTLE and then down to the anchor-point. It can't go a downward angle (like it probably is now), avoiding the curved portion on top.

    When you fix it, you can email VOLANT and tell them you picked up over 100 horsepower after installing their cold air intake.

    My Volant CAI has a large hole to the inner guard and about a 4" square hole through to the grill. That fancy snorkel is not needed and stops the cold air in/ hot air out of the engine bay as it was designed to do. My advice is to remove it and cap it. I have done this to mine today. Definitely happier in traffic on hot days. Not as doughy and engine temp cooler. Truck does not smell hot.
