FYI a cat-back exhaust does not require custom tuning. More importantly Edelbrock does not provide custom tuning for other aftermarket components such as cold air intakes, engine upgrades or high-flow/deleted catalyst.
Not sure why that particular tech said that but a cat-back exhaust will not affect our calibration. Our calibrations are designed for completely stock vehicles from the catalyst FORWARD. We have not specially tested that intake configuration in-house so I can't comment on what difference it may create.
I have been looking at a number of them for some months now. While Edelbrock is probably the safest and has the most support, the "disabling" of the oil fill tube and only being able to use the oil filter as the fill point is a complete non-starter for me. The less times I have to open/close the oil filter cap the better given the almost certain failure at some point.
Yes, that is a concern of mine too but thinking if i'm changing oil, the filter needs changing with it. Unless it becomes a user and needs a fill between changes.
This has been in-process for us but unfortunately no ETA at this time. Edelbrock does own a 2021 JT specifically for emissions testing. The trucks drivability and performance is on target but tailpipe emissions need improvement.
I like this option and may check into it, but I'm going to wait until I re-gear before deciding if I want to pursue an SC.Looks like the right hand (passenger) cam cover has enough access to allow an oil filler tube to be installed between the front and middle sparkplug. It'd require removing the cam cover and machining/drilling a hole, either welding or captive nut design. Another option might be using a left cam cover from a car or JK installation where the filler is in the left cam cover.
