Default "Kegger" intake question

Rather than getting a new intake this summer i figured id ask if the kegger intake manifold on my 5.9 can be modded in any way to improve it?

sorry i should of done more research before posting. found out you can but im not sure if its really worth it, one guy had before and after dyno runs and only showed a gain of 8hp and loss of 10ft-tq, though said it did help the mid to high range.i might would consider buyin a used one and trying it but so far im not likeing the results. has anyone here done it?

Yeah.. typically if you do not go behind such a mod that is allowing that much more air to come through, if you do not go in and tune the system exact it will cause you to loose torque or low end 'umph' but have gains in the mid to upper RPM bands..

Thats why I made the post "wheres the proof Mods! post.. in the hopes some one that has done some of these mods would post some results..

The divider brakes off very easy. But having an extra one to do on the side will help. Just swap the intakes. Eliminates down time.
