Default duel throttle body or six pack for magnum

would anyone be interested in a duel throttle body or a 6 pack manifold for a 5.2/5.9 magnum?
these manifolds are still in the testing phase but if all goes well they will be for sale.

You probably need to give some more information, like anticipated power increase, other parts required to install, estimated cost, etc.

i cant make a real hp gain claim. we have tested on 3 -5.2 and 5 -5.9's and the numbers have been 27- 55 hp and up to 74 flbs gain on a stock engine with no other mods. but we will be testing on engines with mods. the price for the bare manifold will be around 450.00 one with the throttle bodies will be around 900-1000. these prices are subject to change.

Since I don't know much about these, what is the difference between a normal manifold and one of these? I might be interested... I have the 5.9, what were the general increases on this engine? Closer to the top end im guessing...

What other items are involved in a swap? Different injectors? PCM tune? All the stock emissions stuff hooks up for those who need that?

basicaly what has been done is the stock kegger manifold has been milled down, ans a plate milled to accept 2 or 3 stock throttle bodies. then the plate is welded to the top of the manifold. only on of the throttle bodies need to be hooked up to your factory wiring. we use a progressive linkage to connect the other tb's so that they only open at wide open throttle. and no so far we have only tested on bone stock trucks. but are getting ready to try with bigger cam and injectors. i will keep posted. right now we only have two prototypes of each style. and i was only asking if anyone was interested, cause there is enough interest we will put these things into actual production.

seems pretty pricey...couldnt someone spend less than that for only 27-55 hp? what about reliability? i know in the old six pack days they always needed adjusting.

/\ well if you've aleady done the cheaper mods, it be a bigger step.
and for a single part to add that much, its well worth the price

yes i know about the older six pack tuning problems, it was all in the linkage. but if you have an older six pack and have the tuning issues, all you have to do is buy a newer linkage system. and with the new manifolds we are working on the gains we have got are on unmodified engines. an engine that has a computer up grade and bigger injectors a cam and othe mods is an all new animal, this new manifold will allow those other mods to reach their full potential. like i said earlier i will keep you posted on all test we do and the gains in hp.
