im pretty sure that the manifold isnt going to exceed the length of 73". therefore itll be 7.95.

 

Didn't know if those two sentences were related or not... But it would make sense that they are. So $7.95 sounds right.

 

Mopar M1 and a SCT Tune outta be a great combo

 

even better combo..... m1, 52mm tb, custom grind cam by hipotek, custom sct tune, and new heads, and springs, retainers, and locks to handle the new cam. i may add in new lifters and factory length pushrods to the mix too.

gonna be my new combo if i can swing it after we buy a camper.

we're getting about 10k back. so i figure about 1400 for everything i listed. i should be able to do it.

 

You would be well advised to do both of these. I find the 52mm takes away from my combo just stick to the stock TB.

Edit: The 52mm is great above 4500rpm but in the lower rpm range it's not good at all. So if you plan on being over that 4500 go for it.

 

would a 50mm be better? or just stay stock?

 

I have not tried a 50mm I just went back to the stock un-moded tb. I tow so I like to keep my lower end as strong as possible. With you plowing and hauling a camper my choice would to just keep it stock, this would also depend on your cam's grind profile.

 

+1, two days ago i had my heart set on the hughes air gap but now i'm completely torn between the two! arghhhh

 

I have the Hughes Air Gap installed on my rig. I live in Cali (San Francisco Bay Area) and haven't had any issues with my test only smog check. My mods are minimal. SCT, new timing chain and my Air Gap. I had a 52 mm TB installed but the off the line pick up was horrible. Defenitely stick with the stock TB. I got mine from the "parts for sale" section on this site, so I didn't pay retail for it. However, I'd have a really hard time bitting the bullet on that purchase. That's not to say that Air Gap sucks. It gave my rig some *****. I just don't think that the Air Gap or the M1 are worth paying that much.

 

hipotek recommended a 50mm tb, but because of the cam profile he was offering a 51mm tb would do the trick too. he said 52mm may move my torque curve higher up, and would have not much bottom end. i figured a 52 would flow better, and more air, so id get more power out of it, for towing, and plowing. guess i was wrong.
