I bet it is. I'm going to experiment with my idea in the near future. In theory, I think a v shaped plate attached to the base plate should force the air into the cut runners more than just splashing onto the base plate then going into the runners. But, this is just a theory and until the other day I had no idea the keggers were being modified. A friend of mine told me his dad's ram had the heads reworked and it cost $7000. I'd buy aftermarket for that kind of scratch.

 

Haven't been on this forum in a long time.


Here's a good read though for intake manifolds

Yes, that was interesting. Good info there.

 

You can still buy the plenum plate and modify a keg yourself. Theoretically if under the proper angles and slope with the proper cut you could dramatically improve restrictions in flow from bouncing off the walls but would still be an improvement by ordering an intake manifold. The best way would be if you could redesign the runners and put an ram air on it. Welding a plane inside would benefit but by how much

 

I actually have a stock intake from a 98 on the side that I bought to modify but found my M1 for $475 with a cloyes double roller so bought those and installed them instead. Sent my stocker from my m1 to a buddy down in Florida.

I tried finding the nodded kegger on Hughes site and their dynos for it, but they went the airgap manifold due to better power gains. I agree an aftermarket intake would be better, but I don't have the money for that and would like to experiment with this mod. I don't know what kind of gains I will get, but it should be interesting.

 

Just pick up one from a junkyard and cut it yourself? That's what I did. A lot cheaper by far than buying a pre-modified unit. Personally a center divider in the bottom with slopes out appropriately would be cool.

 

The modified keg is more than enough if you don't plan on building the engine very much. Instead of gasping at 3k itll open you up to nearly 5k. M1 or AirCrap is too much air at too low a velocity to be effective down low without more parts. Ask me how I know
That would be cool! If I could weld aluminum I would do it myself with my spare

 

In my opinion a lower center plane would reduce resistance from the air smashing into the belly pan by forcing it outward.

 

My thought is to put an inverted v crossways in the center, then put one on each side of that running length ways. Should increase velocity, reduce plenum volume, and stop/reduce turbulence inside the kegger. At least that's the theory I've got without having any actual facts to go on. Like it's been said for years, "Looks good on paper" lol.
