I should have realized that before I asked the question. I wonder if there is even a noticeable difference in stock keggers with the divider and stock keggers without.

Please post links to forums with dyno posts and cutting and filling instructions.

Not the cutting and filling instructions but some dyno sheets comparing different intakes. Sorry but it's all I could find.

I had not seen that and found it very interesting. Although I have a list of mods I want to make, I continue to research other ideas and options. I will be tinkering with this thing for some time. Expensive but interesting hobby I suppose.

Maybe my dyno chart-fu is lacking, but, looking at the chart (which is the one I was looking for earlier....... ) but, If the kegger is such a great low end manifold, why is it, that EVERY other manifold starts significantly higher on the chart? (which is where a truck wants it's power anyway.....)

I would really like to see something that actually starts somewhere a bit more meaningful to our application....... like, down below 1K RPM...... I have never been able to come up with one.

That could only be done with a manual tranny and with making the pull in 3rd gear it would bogg it to much at 1K rpm. With a automatic tranny, you have to have the overdrive off and start the pull at about 2700 rpm. Otherwise the tranny will downshift and screw up the dyno.

If you'll notice on the dyno chart how the kegger shows an almost instant dramatic increase in HP and TQ and the FI and M1's have the slow gradual increase. That's all because of the longer runners on the kegger. If you were to modify the kegger by cutting 2" off the runners, you'd still have better bottom end torque than you'd get with either of the other intakes.

On the 96 and newer trucks, simply unplugging the 8 pin connector on the drivers side of the trans will disable any automatic functions, put the the trans in third, and it will stay there.

I could be wrong but I thought would put the tranny in limp mode and you would only have 2nd gear?
