Banks Power 42798-PC Monster-Ram Intake & Killer Grid Heater Upgrade

Upgrade your diesel or gasoline application with the Banks Power 42798-PC Monster-Ram Intake and Killer Grid Heater Upgrade. This dual-performance kit provides a freer air path and a reliable heat source to support consistent performance across conditions. The Monster-Ram intake is designed with a 3-3/8 inch inlet, delivering a direct, less restrictive route for intake air from the environment into the combustion chamber, which can help the engine respond more readily to throttle input. Paired with the Killer Grid heater, you get fast warm-up and steady intake temperature, essential for cold starts and early power delivery.

Key design details

Constructed from aluminum and finished in red powder coating, this upgrade blends durability with a bold under-hood presence. The kit includes a high-flow heater, a billet intake plate, a dedicated fuel line, and hardware for a clean, solid install. Four 1/8 inch NPT ports provide flexibility for vacuum lines, sensors, or auxiliary equipment, letting you tailor the setup to your needs.

Performance and benefits

• Outflows stock by over 88.3%, delivering a freer air path.
• Optimizes air pressure and distribution for cleaner cylinder charging.
• Raises boost potential without increasing turbine drive pressure, helping responsive acceleration.
• Larger and less restrictive than stock, supporting efficient airflow across the RPM range.

Real-world scenarios vary, but the upgrade is designed to support smoother idle, quicker throttle response, and more confident acceleration when pulling or merging. The high-flow heater is designed to maintain optimal intake temperature during cold starts, potentially reducing roughness early in the drive cycle. The billet plate and precise hardware contribute to a reliable seal and quiet, positive airflow characteristics even when the engine is working hard.
