Huge Airflow Upgrade for Cummins

In this oldie, but goodie video Greg Alberalla installs the Banks Twin-Ram intake manifold. It gives his 12-cylinder Cummins a huge airflow upgrade!

The Banks Twin-Ram intake manifold doubles the inlet area, optimizes air distribution into the cylinder head, and flows the high-density boost air proportionately into all six cylinders. The equalized air streams do away with lopsided internal temperatures, balance cylinder air volume, and produce smoother output. By driving a greater charge of air into each chamber, Twin-Ram amps up the power, improves mileage and durability and reduces emissions. The Twin-Ram is available for 1994-1998 Dodge Ram 12-valves.

The Banks Twin Ram plate has two openings which provides a huge airflow increase.

Greg exclaims, “it’s double everything” before comparing the stock base plate to the Twin Ram one. The comparison shows the Twin Ram’s two inlets give a huge airflow increase. Because of the single opening in the stock plate, there is air starvation, and the number six cylinder runs hotter than the others.

“Everything fits really well and this thing looks so good!” Greg explains the importance of the inside of the intake manifold being all cast, giving a smooth transition.

The Banks Twin-Ram gives a huge airflow upgrade to this old Cummins.
