How was the install for their intake?

 

Install was straight forward and came with good instructions. No real problems to speak of and only a few little hiccups. Such as, be careful when removing the injectors from the keg and count on replacing the o-rings on them. Use a little lube and the go right in the new intake with no problem. The fuel crossover hose that goes from one rail to the other, you might be able to re-use it and you might not. Seems some are different lengths, probably some arbitrary thing during manufacture. I replace mine with high pressure fuel injection hose and fuel injection hose clamps with no leaks as of yet. Clearance between the top of throttle body and lower portion of cowl is close. My 14x3 didn't want to go back on easily so I replaced it with an aftermarket cool air intake from volant. It is much nicer anyway. Other than those above issues no real problems. Take your time and it will go smoothly.

EDIT: Leave the rails attached to the injectors make removing and installing them much easier. Some pics here of my install. https://dodgeforum.com/forum/members/ramzy-153348-albums-garage-green-monster-10917.html
I have more pics of the install if you decide to undertake it.

 

Cool.

 

Going to get the headers ordered tonight and wife says i gotta wait till next month to order the intake.

 

hughes intake for sure no real bottom end loss. it has almost the same curve as factorys intake torque curve. thats the set up i am running with 52mm throttle body from blkdakrt out of eau claire wi
just need to re-tune for intake and headers with 1.7rr. have not had time to dyno it.

 

What is all the hype on 1.7 or 1.6 rockers?

 

Stock ratio rockers are 1.6. The 1.7 ratio rockers (Harland Sharp Full roller rockers) give you a bit more lift, and duration at .050. It's kinda like installing a bigger cam. Being full rollers, there is also a bit of a power gain from reduced friction in the valve train. General good (all told) for about 10 horsepower, and 10 lbs/ft torque. For the 300 bucks or so price tag, its pretty good bang for the buck.

 

What kind of gain can you get from a set of long tube headers ?

 

Probably not much... at least, nothing noticeable, in and of itself. Headers/exhaust are more of a 'complimentary' mod, that makes your other mods work better. It's all about breathing. Gotta be able to get it all in, AND out. If you have some other mods to help the engine breath better, headers/exhaust will make them work BETTER.

 

longtubes are good for low end torque, but come with a price tag of a whole new exhaust.

they sound hella good. damn easy to put on too.
