Im going into production with one that uses the stock grid and ANY manifold top avail. It is a more advanced design and can handle 200+psi. It can also be optioned with a water/meth or NOS spraybar. No machining necessary, bolt-n-go. Will be avail. in Feb. and is less than half the cost of the wilson.
I will see Wilson in court if they try to do another knock-off!

The grid heater preheats the air in the manifold so the engine will start up correctly and not produce white smoke at start up.

thanks bob guess I missed that one

What exactly are you making (a manifold, plate or)?

What exactly are you making (a manifold, plate or)?

Already made. Plate, it replaces factory plate ONLY and comes with high quality re-usable plate/grid gaskets. You can keep the grid or delete and upper plenum you already have. I'm getting dyno time on it now and it is already being run on a 650+HP truck and shows improved spool/cooling and more even EGTs between cylinders. Without any further delays it should be available mid-Feb.

yes I know, I just hate typing ,I have probably read ninety percent of all posts since then ,and at this point I would like to thank every person for every post in that time. I have saved countless hours and lots of dollars (also looked like some kind of a dodge guru) because of this site and TDR mag. Thanks a million everybody.

I have been running a first gen (92) engine in a 1972 f250 for about a year with no grid heater without a problem . Coldest temp it has seen so far is about 12 deg. so maybe not a good test for those of you in REAL cold climates . I have just engaged my pac brake for a couple of mins. on my 06 with the Wilson intake, seems to work great. John G

Just to reply to the above comments made by DCreed. DCreed and i never spoke until i saw his post on this board and another message board. I had no idea what he was referring to so i did contact him to find out where his comments were coming from. After contacting him we realized there was a misunderstanding which led to him to post his comments. He read that we were working on a heater grid provision and assumed it was something similar to something he had posted on the message boards. We are working on a round heater grid that will be installed at the inlet side (the round side) of the elbow and will not require our current base plate to be modified.
