392 INTAKE on 5.7L... Surprised & 1st Impressions!

392 intake manifold, 85mm BBK throttle body, LMI Leg Maker intake on 5.7L Hemi - 1st impressions, pricing & review. How much was the 392 intake manifold, did it help performance, did it help MPG, would I recommend it for the 5.7L hemi? Should you get a 6.1L intake manifold, Edelbrock intake manifold or 392 6.4L Intake manifold with active runners.

Thats amazing that you got that kinda mpg increase. And super glad that you are super happy with it. Also I think part of the reason the car sounds so good is the open/ exposed air filter.

I would factor about 20whp. Not really in a rush to jump on the dyno but wanted to provide some feedback. Thanks for the support

[@vendediesel]

I was kinda confused until you mentioned the cam upgrade so yeah, a higher rpm range cam is effectively useless without a corresponding intake. Your airflow will basically flatline when the cam is in the middle of its duty cycle and you basically won't make anymore power (you'll keep your torque though).

Nice video, I have a 2014 5.7 out of a Ram pickup I plan to someday put in my 1970 Plymouth Duster and the idea of using an SRT 392 intake is appealing except for the front air intake, I have a hood scoop set up for vertical air intake like on older carb'd V-8s.

I’ve heard 2013+ don’t need MSD just tune but can’t find anyone who actually did that so I’ll elect to do MSD.

I was looking at a Mod package for my RT Shaker. Start with long tubes, Cat Back, and a Tune. Then Pro Charger kit, and a Cam kit. Doing it in stages will require a Tune each time, according to my performance shop.

What brand of oil separator is that and do you recommend it? Did it come with all the necessary mounting hardware?

[@chrisparkison7490]

The look on your face during that first pull says it all, It sound like beast. Does that MSD box wire up the same way the stock 392s do or did you have to do a lot of splicing and cutting into the harness? Also, did you go with a stock 392 manifold or a ported one?

[@RTLife]

I didn't do the wiring but I would imagine it's similar to that of a stock 392. The gentleman that installed it is a Dodge master tech. It def made a difference, it could be the combination of all my mods now just working together but this has certainly been a nice add.

I’d love to know what that would do on a stock motor. Let’s say you did an exhaust that intake and a tune. Would it improve performance and fuel mileage. That’s somethings I wouldn’t mind trying on my Ram 1500.

I don't think it would impact you as much. The Rams have much better intake manifolds then the 5.7L Hemi chargers/challengers.

[@mrhyde0705]

Youll lose about 15-25 peak HP without the short runners active. Allegedly there is a way to tune it with HP tuners, youll only need to power it. You'll also apparently need extensions for the back sensor/ TB wiring. Ive got the intake sittin in my garage but due to shortage in parts its been a nightmare.

Hi I’m new to tuning cars... what does the MSD thing do for you? Why did you need it?

[@RTLife]

The MSD is basically the switch for the intake manifold. At a certain RPM is goes from short to long runners inside of the manifold. That helps with air flow into the heads & increasing performance.

[@alexanderfausto6512]

So your videos have inspired me to do the conversation. How long did it take for the manifold to be installed and what was the price you paid?
