What are your shift points set at? If it kept climbing to 6600 then started falling off isnt that an improvement over the stock truck intake (correct me if i am wrong plz LOL)

Currently I am shifting at 6800 (1-2) and 6900 (2-3) at the track. This is on a quicky tune, I really need to go and redo a lot (VE, MAF, and spark), hopefully in a few weeks I can can work on it...

It had a BUNCH of cheap rubberish gaskets... I put it back together with 2 full tubes of silicone (O2 safe kind)....

Moved my IAT sensor to here, which i might add it reacts SOOOOO much better and faster... Initial heat soak at startup, but a few seconds later it is a few degrees about outside temp...

I did redyno it last weekend, the TC was unlocked so the numbers didn't change much, not to mention it was very hot... But the HP pulled all the way to 6600, then fell on its face.

looks like the runners are a tad taller and maybe wider at some points... love that it doesn't have that damn tube down the middle like the stocker.

dlt... in the first pic in post #45 the first runner doesn't look bigger on the left manifold than on the right manifold? may be just my mind, but it looks a little fuller and perhaps taller... wouldn't that explain the increase in cyl/airmass? or atleast be a possible explination
