Why do I want a dozen donuts now!
I'll be honest here and hopefully Scott doesn't take me out behind the shed and horse whip me
I've never given two shits about dyno numbers. I've learned (or maybe understood) that for every dyno that is out there you will get or can get different results. Some base on dyno style, maker, operator, setup and the list goes one. From what I've experienced, operator of the dyno has the greatest influence over the results. Not everyone races there truck, so track results is out of the question and the dyno becomes god, those who race, the track is god, but is it a well prepared track or a crappy track, high altitude or sea level. Again, the circumstances and conditions, to varied to really rely on.
So for those that don't race, it comes down to dyno results
For those that race, it comes down to timeslips
Both will be disappointed they didn't get more
How much Hp can be gleamed from ported an intake manifold?
There's a good 20-30 HP in a good port job. Will compliment ported heads and a cam nicely and really shine!
SRT Brad you are not comparing apples to apples ,Trainmans intake was a one of a kind port job and his numbers should not be used for a gasket matched runners ,his was extrude honed if I remember correctly .
Once again, please ho up another thread. This thread is about raw, stock, factory Gen 3 intakes so please keep it on track. Just so there's no confusion
Pm Tito ,he is looking for an oem intake manifold, so he can keep his polished one .
Incorrect, I had the idea for an extrude honed intake when I talked to DC Performance, but Dan (of DC Perf.) contacted Form and Function Performance and they did a full Hand porting Job on the intake (the first one they had done). So apples to apples. Those numbers are with the factory TB. After that I tested the BBK TB (my truck was the test bed for those on a Ram) and there were large gains with the BBK (search BBK throttle body results) and then a year or so later I went to the JTS Venom TB and made more gains (search JTS Venom TB results).
I cut the plenum a open on mine James. I found it to be the only way to reach entire runner and open mouths of runners ;-)
Of course I'm sure I'm not the first.

Welds smoothed, no remains of any modifications noticeable ;-)
Gets powdercoated , polished, or dipped afterwards.

for bein a dry intake, sure do get nasty in thar
Dry with fuel, yet it's crankcase ventilation that puts that gunk into the intake. Not to mention average build up from dust that bypasses air filter ;-)
Look at your IAC valve and TB often and remove gunk. Engine will thank you
How much would one of those ported intake mani cost ?
