As for the intercooler option, very soon, the details just need to be finalized.
This kit will be an excellent option for those who want to bolt on lots of power.
thanks guys!

Thank you Allen for getting the ball rolling for Trick. I will try to answer some questions and get the release with all the data possible.
Added cost and added time but can be done.
The angle of attack to the throttle body does not lend itself to installing the maf.
Manifold is double welded where it can be inside and out. The runners are long enough to allow movement without cracking. there are 2 flex joint couplers withing the system, again to allow movement. It also carries a 1 years warranty against cracking.
Thanks for the kind words. The system is laid out in a way to allow a twin up-grade option at a later time. You could buy the single then later in life upgrade.
Right now release date of twin upgrade is a bit off. Single kits are built, but all supporting accessories takes a little time.
This is Allen's specialty. The t-76 upgrade can flow plenty of air to make 700+ easily. Myself with the stock 6.0 is completely happy with the power out put. Intercooler did do some pretty amazing things with air temps. Again Allens specialty. He really know hows to tweek these things.
Kits are already built NON-cooled and ready to go out the door. Intercooler upgrade options are still int he works.
Thanks to everyone interested in this kit.

How much is the kit less the turbo and wastegate?
What measures have been taken to prevent the manifold from cracking and/or sagging?

Wow, very interested in this. Keep us updated on power output, intercooler, and boost levels. I'd like to know what one will do behind a 408.

looks pretty simple, no 18' of tubing like STS....
Good starting point for someone doing a custom setup, nothing that couldnt be made with a welder and a pile of stainless tubing, even uses a stock mainfold
