So glad we have Ronnie and his expertise! Such a wealth of knowledge
Exactly
John at Southeast Performance is another
Good luck with the build.
Yes, it's certainly helpful when a supplier can provide a knowledge base on the products!
You be welcome.
Now that the heads are decided ,, What other options for intake manifolds would be beneficial to these engines .. We know there is always room for improvement with any intake manifolds. I don’t remember ever seeing or hearing a discussion about intakes manifolds , modifications ( except porting and gasket matching ) or after market don’t seem to exist . So what are the possibilities ?
Polished , ported , redesigned runners longer shorter , larger smaller , horse power and torque ranges with different configurations .

Instead of researching zero-deck, read about the result (squish/quench). Here is one of many articles on the subject:

Quench: Unlocking Performance Squished Between the Piston and Head
Quench is the clearance between the piston and cylinder head at TDC. It can affect engine effeciency and performance, if you truly understand it.
I cut the top off a Gen III and had a look around.
I can't remember how many shops said they could do what I asked but never did.
What I wanted was to add 3" to the top of each runner then build a plenum on top (each side).
3 different Intake companies wanted an Intake built from scratch, instead of modifying my own.
They were all between 10 and $15K
The Gen III Intake is somewhat restrictive...
A Gen II Intake won't add horsepower on a Gen III engine but will add 50 pounds-feet of torque because of the longer runners. Bitchy to install as well and they look like they belong on an industrial boat engine (my opinion).

I remember you were doing something to the intake and had a few pics on here .. It surprises me that no one has come out with an affordable after market intake .. heck they make manifolds for everything else lol . My guess was so that making one for the viper engines would be beneficial to someone to make one and a market for them .. IMO more torque would be highly beneficial to these trucks for drag racing due to the reality of how many of these trucks will ever hit 150 mph in a 1/8 or 1/4 mile and the street .. seems the gen 2’s ( are they a direct bolt on ? ) and 50 ft pounds of added torque would be decent gain and better off the line .
Are those pics from the manifold from your truck or s it a spare for experimentation?
That particular Intake was for experimentation and ended up in landfill.
Hahaha
The 3 inches was on top...
I really don't find it difficult to remove the Intake on these engines. It takes more time than the older engines for sure.

Hahah .. I know , just had to try to simplify everything .. its in my nature .., just makes me think if The truck broke down on the road somewhere out in the southwest that being able to repair a coil or coil wire fast and get going again ..
@Kiwi SRT10 … maybe a heck of a possibility… says out of stock , who knows could be worth a try !
