Default Does anyone know how the intake mani on an SXT works?

I'm just curious as to how it works. Because it doesn't matter what gear I'm in, soon as I hit 4,000 rpms something kicks in and it starts pulling hard. I believe the R/Ts have the two piece cast aluminum intakes that have short and long runners that open at around this same spot as mine pulls, but my intake mani is not aluminum, its plastic. And I'm almost positive it doesn't do the same thing as the R/T mani does. I'm just can't figure out why it starts pulling right there....is that where the meat of my cam kicks in or what?

My 04 does the same thing. If you listen real close it sounds like it goes from vacume to boost... Not possible but thats what it sounds like. Ive always wondered the same thing ???[sm=interesting.gif][sm=icon_rock.gif]

I always joke around that I have an imaginary turbo...and thats where my boost hits. LMAO. I thought maybe my intake was dual runnered like the R/T's, but I don't think it is. So I stick to my imaginary turbo story.

Thats just where the motor starts to develop more power. Also if you have an intake, the more air you are pulling the louder its gonna get.

Mine did that too. It sounded just louder but then when I shifted it sounded like a turbo. I think I'll take NeonSXT04's way out...it's an imaginary turbo lol i like that.

you are right. it is a vaccum pull. @4000RPM's your gears are designed to pull harder(power curve), causing a vaccum pull on your intake. just a another brilliant idea from mopar with their gears.......get more out of them than most other cars. most cars have it, just that in the SXT's its way more noticable. i used to have a honda prelude and a suzuki and they both did the same thing just not as noticable as my SXT.

I suppose that must be it because I don't remember it being this noticeable when I was stock. Now you can almost feel the click when it does it. And the rpms speed up at this point and it screams to redline now. I wrecked my torque curve.
