GDP Air-Boss VP Intake Plenum & Grid Heater Delete Kit 98.5-02 Cummins

EGT's running too high? Can't use all of the fuel you have available? The Air-Boss VP plenum gives the largest bolt-on flow increase possible short of milling the cast plenum off the head and installing a fabricated intake plenum. The Air-Boss VP isn't just a replacement flat aluminum plate as seen in other designs. The Air-Boss VP is a true, elevated plate designed to flow as much air as possible to cylinders 4, 5, and 6. We've all have seen the head gasket failures between the hottest running #5 and #6 cylinders. With our plate design we open up the plenum area to the starving rear cylinder by a full 20%. By increasing airflow to the rear cylinders we reduce EGT's and allow you to run even higher fueling levels. The Air-Boss VP plenum kit also includes a shortened grid heater delete block to maintain the factory IC piping to intake manifold connection geometry . Maintaining this geometry makes the Air-Boss VP compatible with ALL aftermarket intake manifolds and the stock mounting hardware. GRID HEATER OPTIONS: The standard Air-Boss VP kit includes a custom height grid heater delete block. For colder climates we now offer the Air-Boss VP with a grid heater option. This option uses the factory grid heater (no delete included) and custom length stainless steel studs to accommodate the increased plenum height of the Air-Boss VP. For customers that want to swap back and forth between the heater and delete block we offer both item in one package.
