The Monster-Ram improves airflow from the intercooler. It flows 72.7
lbs/min MAF (Mass Air Flow) with Banks’ High-Flow Heater and Billet
Intake Plate compared to stock's 38.6 lbs/min MAF.
Monster-Ram raises boost without increasing backpressure at the
turbine. The result is a more responsive, power-efficient engine that
offers even more headroom than stock for higher horsepower applications.
The complete system
Banks’ High-Flow Heater and Billet Intake Plate complete the perfect
system. The High-Flow Heater allows for the removal of the restrictive
stock heater grid plate. The new vertical coil-style heater provides the
same functionality for cold starts as the stock grid heater but without
obstructing airflow. Replacing the restrictive stock grid heater plate
with the Banks High-Flow Intake Plate removes all obstructions and
turbulence in the airflow path.
How it was designed
Utilizing the latest in CFD (computational fluid-dynamics), tested on
the flow bench, the dyno, and on-road, Monster-Ram is a beast that only
Banks could have unleashed. A direct-replacement aluminum casting,
Monster-Ram is instant power, performance, and acceleration
gratification. The factory inlet elbow is cramped and angular in order
to accommodate the path of the stock No. 1 fuel line. Banks Engineers
designed a new No. 1 fuel line, allowing the Monster-Ram to flow more
air without obstruction.
Expandable
With four 1/8” NPT ports, perfect for temperature and pressure sensors, the sky's the limit for data acquisition.
Beats the competition
Like all Banks products, the Monster-Ram was tested against all
available competitors. It more than doubles the improvement over the
closest competitor.
