The site is mine and kind of dated too. Its probably at least a few years old.
I'll try to update it one day.

The truck is an 96 Indy 500 Pace Truck ram and not an SST (97-98 only) ram also
FWIW.

Considering the 5000lb weight - I'd say that unless you have lots of other mods or
plan to be above 3000 rpms much - then the stock intake (port matched) would be a
better fit because the horsepower/torque curve is shifted up for sure. I like it
and hope to have either 3.92 or 4.11 gears in soon to help keep me in the higher
rpm range more.

I'd like to see a dyno/track comparison of the stock/2bblMPI/4bblMPI on
stock/modded trucks.

One benefit I like about the 4bbl MPI intake is that it should be very easy to add
a std 4bbl NO2 plate. There are so many types/styles of nitrous systems that are
available in the std 4bbl plate form-factor.

Am debating on whether or not to go to MMP this evening for their last test-n-tune
of the season. It's been fun to hear of everyone getting some of that cool air and
turning good times.

Latr,

Shane
