    Had planned on replacing the tilt. Current helm pump/tilt have been upgraded. Not sure if existing tilt will fit/work with the new pump. Good question because the existing tilt seems fine.

    330 Express - Helm AC Cold Air Intake

    Follow-up: Spoke with Grady Customer Service and received tech support.
