It does but not just as a drop in i believe and also wont give you any performance gains unless your on a big shot of nitrous or boosted from what ive heard

no gains with the manifold, unless your using turbos, most supercharger kits actually get little to no gain from a larger intake manifold. not worth the money.. Probably only time going with a bigger intake manifold on the hemi would be if you stroked it to a 392 or 410.

The 6.1 manifold makes more top end power, but will cause a loss of low end power...that is why you see so few trucks actually going that route. It will also require you to re locate a few of the front accessories as well as install an efan and build a new cold air intake to make it fit. Not worth the hassle IMO.

If they have their diesels all modded up, you are going to have a long long road in front of you to match them. Modded diesels run really really hard! This might be one of those times when it's better to listen than to talk----just my opinion?????? Good luck in your quest.

Yeah I know, I'm throwing practicality to the wind, I guess I'm talking about building the ultimate sleeper....

I hope your pockets are deep. You'll prolly need to stroke it. Big cam big heads maybe some spray to run with those diesels.

I'd still that grab that intake. I may be in the minority, but say down the road you went with a bigger cam & springs. That intake might be worth having.

OP, if you really want to try to run with your diesel buddies, then do what you can afford to your truck now, and then pick one of your friends who has bigger tires and wheels, but still has stock gearing, and maybe you can beat him. Then the others will respect you a little more and stop ragging on you. LOL. May be worth a shot? It's kinda cheating in a way by picking the one guy you can beat, but wth.......
