Question intake manifold

what would yall consider the best intake manifold for my 2002 dodge diesel 6 speed. Upgrades on the truck already is edge attitude , and a fass fuel pump . What are other up grades and distributors I can get them from.

I would like to change out my turbo to a ball bearing turbo, injectors, clutch and intake.

this is a everyday driver. I need mileage and power. So can yall please help me out.

Don't waste your money on the intake. Save up and get a clutch, then injectors & turbo.

I would make your clutch the next upgrade.
Then injectors, turbo, do you have an aftermarket air intake?

Yea they really arent worth the money. I dont think my Banks high ram changes anything more then a couple seconds off cool down time and 20* egt's. Maybe a fraction of a second better spool up. But nothing with the 250-500 places want for em.
biggest reason I got one was cause its Red, an so is my truck. Along with half the engine now.

Go for better toys for sure.

get a pusher intake or order one from the guy who makes that tunnel ram. i got a tunnel ram plate and an intake horn shipped to canada for less than $400 total. i think it's a pretty good deal, but if you just want a intake horn then go with a pusher intake or just order one from the tunnel ram guy . . .

HE DOESN'T NEED AN INTAKE HORN!
Unless your in it just for the Bling factor.
Next time your at the sled pulls go look under the hoods of the pullers, or Dyno guys and see how many are still running the stock horn and making some crazy power.

Exactly! I did 611hp & I'm still on stock intake with stock plate. Lots of big power trucks still running stock as well.

Guy in Utah made near 750hp on a VP using a Tunnel Ram and tubular intake.
I use one to help me spool an 80mm single on my '99 daily driver.

dually- None (if any) of the air intake style upgrades claim much over 15hp. They DO however often claim faster spool and lower EGTs. This makes sense because unless you are over-fueled, air does not make power, esp on a dyno. in some cases an airflow improvement WILL flatten an broaden the curves though, giving more USEABLE power and lower EGTs mean you could hold the power longer on a pull.
john-
My bad, it was 744hp corrected (I was looking @ gross)
this is his sig:
