Why? Lol

Saw them live this year, their heart wasn’t in it tbh

Only the new XP500 and Xp600 pumps will have those

It’s like building legos but more mind bouggling so you can’t think about all that stuff and you get a whole lot more fun when it’s complete. pLuS yOu gAiN SkIlL aNd kNoWlEdGe

@@davidhartnett3836 those engines and trucks make life complete and make it worthwhile. I’ve got one and 62 GMC and I never stop working on it. I’m glad you’re doing well.

@@That62gmc12valve I'm just glad 12 valves are pretty simple to learn on! Saved my life and my pocket.

I agree with you man

Not me .. I do it for money

damn i’m glad to not be the only one who breaks down my vehicles just to stay sane , and i’m not too experienced probably been doing it about a year or two now but definitely one of the only things that help

Best comment yet and so true if I didn’t have my tools I would have been lost my shit 😂

@@jayots7872 the only way you are going to get that experience is by doing it. I’m sorry I’ve been wrenching on automotive and industrial equipment mostly forklift scissor lifts boom lifts man lifts. It’s a lot of fun. Some people do it for the money but most of the good mechanics that I know they do it because they enjoy it. Most of the real good or master mechanics that I know or lead mechanics. They are the same way. Typically you get that good at it by loving doing it not doing it for the money alone. I work on everything and it transfers over to my washing machine my dishwasher, my hot water heater so when I was young, if I needed to learn electrical now, and I only knew DC electrical, I would go to somebody that I knew or I would open a book or watch a video but when we were kids, we didn’t have that we only got KZbin so many years ago when I was starting out in this industry, we had all data at Chilton’s Manuel Haynes, Manuel, and the factory service Manuel that’s all we had and it made us the mechanics that we are today

Mine went to the hvac guy😢

Diesels and gasser engines run at much different temperatures. Try pushing your egts to 1500 degrees on a pass see if your aluminum head is still there 😂 the log style isn't terrible. If it was many more of us would make customs. But the power difference isn't worth it. Much easier ways to make more power such as changing turbo sizing, injectors, timing, nozzles etc. 12 valves also have zero electronics.

@mustangdemon87 I get all that, but the engines aren't as different as you think at the same time. They're STILL an air pump at the end of the day. Anything you can do to move more air equates to the ability to burn more fuel and therefore make more power- that is the part where they're very similar. I'm a 25 yrs qualified mechanic, I understand what your saying about their differences. You know, there's a company that sells high end turbo cast exhaust manifolds- Arctech or something maybe, I can't remember. They are really heavy duty units for gas application and don't suffer any of the shortcomings of a traditional style performance turbo manifold. Someone could make a fortune selling a similar product for all the commonly modified diesel engines, I reckon. I know you guys just raise the boost to make more power,l (gas turbo guys did the same thing in the 90's) but if you make the motor more efficient and THEN throw ALL the boost at it you 100% will see power increase

@@RebeccaKenworthyI've used every manifold on both 5.9 and 6.7 Cummins platform. Steed speed, WC 2nd Gen kits, etc. on a mechanical motor(12v) the 3g kits run best. Ive seen a lot of different setups with them at sled pulls and a lot of builders prefer them. You would only need a gated setup on a 12v if you are running insane amounts of boost or nitrous.

@@davidhartnett3836 Ahhh, so there are some companies making performance cast exhaust manifolds- good to know. Cheers for the info 👍
