no bucking here at all and im self tuned, mine are locked out as well, still messing with some cam timing to try to maximize it but it feels pretty damn good

How much should I expect to pay for a shop to install this for me? I'm having them swap my 3.73 out and figured I might as well have them do it. Is this an easy install? I'm a novice.

Can do it in about a hour or so don’t pay someone else to. Need a 8mm and 10mm socket, a pair of cutter and some locking pliers to release some hose clamps. Just did over the weekend in the Florida heat and humidity , would have been quicker if I wasn’t panting like a dog and stopping to drink every 5 minutes

Any "gotchas" I should look out for or wiring weirdness? I have the lockouts.

I got the gt350 evap extension harness. It's not required but makes relocating the evap easier. I paid my mech $100 for the install. Hardest part was redoing the vacuum lines. Good luck.

I'm going to give it a go. Also, I forgot to mention that I have a procharger. Anything else I should know about the install with the procharger? Thanks for the help.

If you end up making some can you post up the dimensions (hole spacing)?

How much to make me a set? :shrug:

Got mine today. Will dig into tonight/tomorrow and come up with some lockouts on the cheap and reliable.

There is a lot of confusing information in this thread. Love the idea but I'm not savvy enough to sort out whats needed and whats not.

Any chance of a thread cleanup or a rewrite? 105 pages is a lot to sort through and yes I tried lol.

I would just post a list of your questions here and some of us will chime in to answer what we know.

Right off of the bat, it seems as if tuners are recommending owners to lockout their IMRC's instead of going through the hassle of trying to keep them functional. However, few owners have gotten them to work without issues/codes.

If you're installing the 2018 manifold, all you need is a foot or two of 3/8 vacuum/fuel line. You can pretty much use your lines from the stock manifold as well. If you're locking out the IMRC's, you can lock them out by either (i) purchasing MMR lockouts for $70, (ii) creating your own lockouts with a piece of metal from Home Depot, or (iii) using zipties. I personally used two zipties on each IMRC and it has been holding up fine.

"Completed" the install today. I use quotes because I am still unsure I have the hose routing correct. I mostly followed the video linked above but also looked at the Lund install guide. They seem to do it differently which contributed to the confusion. Also, while not are great, neither the video nor writeup include details on installing with a procharger. If someone has the 18 manifold installed with a procharger, I would greatly appreciate any phoo's you could post showing the routing.

Thanks! Happy 4th! 'Murica!!!
