Alan,
I was merely commenting on Nitrous Express's mopar knowledege or actually I
was kinda hoping someone had put a full race B-1 motor into a Dak... I do
know that a single plane "wet" manifold can be frought with distribution
problems at low rpm and is usually gives up torque for more high rpm
horsepower. with that said, Im not sure how it would do in a Dakota since a
Dakota is a dry manifold. Most dry FI manifolds seem to have a tuned runner
system that is fed by a large Plenum, possibly to maximize velocity to each
individual cylinder with a even flow rate distribution. The M1 single
plane has short runners and no plenum. What does it mean to a Dakota? I
dont know. It will probably flow more than the stock manifold, but will
the velocities be high enough at the low RPMs for truck type torque with
adequate low velocity atomization?? Wheres my M1 and my pitot tube
dammit...

Bruce, please forgive my ignorance, this is MY first MOPAR. If I'd known
about the B-1 not fitting, I wouldn't have asked. Now that that's out of
the way, let's assume it's an M-1 and repeat the same question, what do
you know about the performance of this manifold and is it an intake AND
exhaust , or intake only. Alan S.
