Emissions Testing on EGR Monster-Ram

Development on the EGR version of the Monster-Ram for the 2007 thru 2020 6.7-liter continues at Banks with emissions testing on the chassis dyno and Banks emissions lab. Baseline testing on the truck in its stock configuration is now being followed up with a run on dyno with the aluminum rapid prototyped part.

It’s not just flow and CARB compliance that the part is being tested for, but more. Is power-making density increased? Is boost pressure raised without increasing back pressure at the turbine? Has throttle response increased? All questions that will be answered by having a prototyped part that is identical to the intended finished product.
