Banks twin ram

[Archive]

Hi guys, Altho I think the Banks systems are overpriced. I'm looking into the twin ram setup for my 215 P-Pump motor. Looking for anyone who is running this set up and would like your comments please. This motor is installed in my 1st gen. truck. TIA, Mike

I like the looks of the twin ram manifold. But I would have to grind off the banks name. Everything in mine is TST.

Why do you want the Twin Ram? For looks?
For performance, the pathway is well established and it starts with fuel.

Joe, I could care less about looks. Was just trying to get input on operation & if it helped any at all. I know the power gains are in the fueling aspect. I will go that route after I run out this 100,000 mile warranty. Which at 3500 miles a week should not take too long. <G> Thanks, Mike

When I bought a Banks Stinger setup for my truck I asked about the Twin Ram. The Banks salesman actually told me it was a waste of money and made installation twice as time consuming. Needless to say I didn't get one.

There is a twin ram for sale in classified. Still in the box.

the twin-ram doesn't, as a stand-alone, do much (anything??) for power... however, according to my power-broker/therapist the stock intake doesn't distribute the air quite as well as it should, so you have 2 cylinders that run hotter than the other 4. . the twinram evens this out, so that you can gain some safety-factor when you up the fuel. supposedly cuts that uneven heating to the point that you can "plate" another 50HP into your engine recipe without blowing your EGT's---once the install is done, it should be like any other piece--a resident that doesn't get bothered---passing on someone else's $. 02 that sounded plausible to me---rich
