Especially since that is just the starting point. Certainly not for the "bolt on" crowd. Lots of fabrication and component selection involved. Definitely not for the "street" racer. Still looks KEWL though.

Yeah. First thought was how to adapt the tubes from the CAC. Then I realized the Turbo would need moved, too. Might as well go dual turbos.

Because this is not designed to run on a street truck and there are literally hundreds of different configurations. Its up to the builder to decide what combination he wants. Not to mention that a complete race package is going to cost major dollars. This intake is designed for the full race builder not the daily driven street crowd.

i cant believe Guy Trip from SoCal Diesel didnt design something like this before Banks to match his cylinder heads, would be a nasty combination with a set of good flowing heads....

Guy has actually done some intake testing but the high rises only benefit the DMax when running twin turbos with massive amounts of boost. Guy focuses more on the daily driver weekend racer on a budget crowd but his race head were designed around a honed factory intake.
