i just got a 2001 Nissan Frontier 4X4 crew cab...i love the truck..but it lacks some ummph...so i was thinking of adding a performance chip...and a cold air intake. Do performance chips work? And whats a good but cheap cold air intake? Thanks for the help.

Not sure about a chip.

But AEM makes a nice cold air intake.

Just do a search of AEM intakes you will find them.

I have a 2006.

The filter is oilless, I like that.

It was not the cheapest but not the most expensive.

I would say (by the old seat of the pants meter) I gained 10 hp.

Don't waste your money on a chip or CAI. You'll get the most bang for your buck with a high flow custom cat-back exhaust system.

I had a 2000 V6 and after I replaced the stock piping from the Cats, it really went much better. I wished that they made headers for that truck.

I know that there are Cams for the engine. you could port and polish the intake. the Throttle body could be increased and intake manifold extrude honed. underdrive pullys and an electric fan would be good too.

sold it though and bought a titan!
