when I put the stocker back on and went for a test drive, I almost went straight to the dealer for 2 new gaskets to swap it back... keep in mind that my perspective is from a daily driver, fuel economy standpoint...

1/2/s/th 190.0 250.0 400.0 535.0 612.0 613.1 34.513 17.764 complete
1/2/s/th 193.0 249.0 397.0 533.0 - 575.5 32.131 17.911 complete 20 oz of PSD (white)
1/0/s/th 181.0 240.0 390.0 - - 437.2 24.990 17.488 complete stockintake...
keep in mind that the 1/2 & 1/0 are the same... when the tst is set to 1, it's set to timing only and the torque setting is ignored.

Here is the question I have on this....

What do you do with the wiring to the grid heater (I know, seems silly) and does it throw any codes with it missing?

It certainly looks interesting enough and I can see the advantages. I do like the other one though that is enlarged AND has the grid heater still in it.

I really don't see the vertical fins as being an obstuction,and, more than likely,the reduced inlet size on the stock piece is where the real restriction is.

Well I don't understand, if the truck has to have it to start properly, why does cummins offer the grid heater delete?
Not every 5.9 that Cummins made went in to a Dodge truck so not all engines will need to have one.
