bdx black boxx intake questions

[vans]

I own an 2011 m8 with the intake kit already installed. I have talk to black diamond and they say that i do not need a fuel controller on my sled as long as i have no other mods done to the engine. Just wondering if anyone with a h.o sled can conferm this so i don't have to worry that i am going to blow my engine cause i have had 2 artic cat dealers tell me that i need it but i think that it may be a sale pitch.

I wouldn't install it, the stock airbox makes good power and is most responsive you will lose the response and acclereation.

Thanks for the info i sure hope i have the same luck as you cause i would really rather spend my hard earned money on something else besides a fuel controller.

I'm running the BDX intake on my 2007 m8 with a can and y-pipe without a controller. Might be different for the HO engine though...

I will say this, tape the plastic top piece to the belly pan with gorilla tape to help keep the snow out. On powder days you get snow coming in under the hoop and it will ice off the intake if you don't.
