New member, looking for information

[Bgiracing]

I’m a new member and looking for some info. I’ve got a 97 Dodge Cummins, 12 valve, that I sled pull on weekends. Im wanting to use a side draft intake on my truck. Has anyone done this? Do you have any pictures of it on the engine?

Make sure your class allows side drafts.

Thanks. We run 2.6 smooth bore I want to run this style side draft so I don’t have to buy another set of lines.

Just want to clarify, you have a 12 valve motor, and the side draft you posted a picture of shows it to be used on a 24 valve motor.

Would like to run something similar to that style.

Is the reason for the intake to do extensive port work?

If not and just the intake its not gonna make much if any difference.

I seen very little difference in the 20 plus engines I built at that power range doing a full intake . But 2k investment intake and port work just to have it little gain is a option

 

[Bgiracing]

The head has had port work done But not on the intake. The rule change last year thought there may be a gain to remove the factory shelf and port the intake.

Intake runner porting and intake will help but will be minimal. Zz and D+j machine both have options that fit a 12v
