As we close out this year I want to take the time to thank everyone for supporting our tiny shop. To all the customers and guys at Engine Masters, thank you for making this business an enjoyable one. I do not deal with large overhead, huge inventories and employees to care for. It is just Sharon and I working the shop and shipping the packages. Savannah is a full time mom now, so it is usually just my son Garrett with his SRT4 and myself working in the shop. My career in the past 7 years as kept me on the road so much, I did not have time to play in the shop as much as I really wanted. The intake manifold porting and throttle body work placed priority over my testing. So projects such as the roots blower and my GSXR1100 sand quad get pushed back. I would log in remotely all over the US to send tunes out. Now, huge thanks to my new local military engineering career, I get to be home every night and weekend! I am really looking forward to this next year.

With that said, I am working a dyno test up for our 408ci in the Ram. I have the dyno scheduled for a day, plenty of intake manifold gaskets and will be doing a same day back to back dyno of the following intake manifolds in this order:
  1. Stock Kegger with Stock throttle body.
  2. Stage 1 Kegger with the 108mm throttle body.
  3. Stage 2 Kegger with the 108mm throttle body.
  4. M1 2bbl with the 108mm throttle body
  5. Six Pack Indy Manifold with three 108mm throttle bodies.
I really look forward to this test.  The engine is the 10.3 compression 408ci, Stage 1 EQ heads, long-tube headers and the UTP500X camshaft profile. (You can read the specs of that on the new Cams Spec page) 

​ I think you will all enjoy this too. Watch for this video in late January.

Marty,
Thanks for the update, I'm anticipating a whole lot of good data in the Dyno testing of those intakes. I've just purchased an M1 2bbl for my 360 Magnum 360 V8.
Want to find out if it's got any significant gains over your stage 1 and 2 setups.
I just installed my Utawesome Valley Pan in my rebuild and it fit like factory made it. The front right side (passenger side) had to be pushed down a shade to clear the head / intake clearance, but all else was spot on.
I deeply appreciate your efforts to not only inform us about your endeavors but also give us insights into all the aspects of making power with the 360 Magnum V8 Engine.
Bless you Marty and keep up the Utawesome work.
CJ
