I dont know if there is an intake with better low end that the kegger. That is ALL it has. The M1 is great, and with the right complimentary mods you will improve the low end and gain massively in the upper range.
On a stock engine though, you will lose a little low end |

It's pretty hard to have a manifold discussion only...It's a sum of all parts. |

It moves the power band up...I'm building my Ram for torque so I'm staying with the stock manifold.

Of course, they also choke it off at higher RPM. The M1 manifold is a single plane, short runner manifold. Designed more for mid-range, to high rpm. The two barrel flavor will give somewhat better response on a truck motor due to the SMALLER plenum area. (velocity over volume) Basically, with a two barrel throttle body on there, it fools the engine into thinking the runners are longer than they really are. An M1, (2bbl) with proper supporting mods will actually give you MORE bottom end, then the kegger..... These motors in stock form are seriously under powered. |

I guess I will be repairing the stock intake if there is not benefit to replacing it. Is the hughes intake repair kit the way to go? also since I will be saving money by not buying a new intake I want to put it into an electric fan and spectre intake system. Has anyone been able to increase their mileage by doing this? Even if I picked up 1 mpg it would help quite a bit.

Don't buy Hughes, Mr. Hughes is a jerk and over prices his stuff.
Go on eBay and buy the plenum plate made by bwdakrt. He's a member here on DF and makes a very nice plate for $54. I have one myself and it works great. |
I cant find the bwdakrt plate. I did however find a plate sold by trisa34 that $54. is this his new account?
|
checked to see if the plenum gasket blow tonight. Burnt oil on throttle blades, burnt oil on throats, and film of oil on intake floor. Yall have talked about the m1 intakes but what about the hughes intake?
