Keating machine vs zz fab

[cummins732]

Wondered if anyone has ran Keating machine intake runner? Is there differences in runners or just price? Trying to get info before buying. Thanks

 

[cummins732]

Or is there any other intake runner y'all prefer or suggest?

All our pro street trucks have keatings manifold. Its a very nice piece and very sturdy also.

Joker fab also builds a sweet one. Pure diesel Power also makes one. Hell I make one LOL

I like both people so no picking sides with me. I met Greg (ZZ) in the fall of 07' in Houston and commented on the manifold like the one above but longer runners. I said "hum interesting, convergent duct technology" Greg looked at me and said how do you know that, simple I'm a Jet Engine mechanic in the Navy. Convergent duct, the top of the runner is wider than the bottom and that creates increased velocity and decreases pressure....like the back of a jet engine!

The taterbuilt manifolds are a good quality. Adam is one heck of a craftsman. He is tater_thrower76 on here.

Well since everyone wants shiny stuff here is his polished one.

The unpolished one is much cheaper then zz fab and cheaper then Keating.

Jealous of the 12v guys!! Wish the 24v ports were not shared.

If someone has a 24v runner manifold that would like to swap around and try. I'd be game to get it on the dyno and find out if one makes more than the other.
Depending on the bolt pattern of the intake and stock I/C placement of course.

All it take would be swapping my intake/lines/ic piping onto yours.

ZZ Fabs newest Individual tapered runner manifold.

You don't want to do that. Dyno's are the devil. Just put it on your pulling truck and if it goes one inch farther down the track it makes more power. If it doesn't, blame the track.LOL

since no one will post a keating here is the one we have on the pull truck
