    Intake for 454 468

     



    Hey Guys i think i made a mistake in an intake choice on my 468. i put on a Dart rec port, and i feel its way too big for what i have? i am thinking of changing to a Vic JR. what have you guys done that makes power to 7500 RPM. I need to get my 60 foot and midrange back. The car feels lazy now.

    Thank for your input guys, i appreciate it. I have come to realize now why my oval port 427 was so fast. Lots of air speed and a decent port size.

    I used an Edelbrock Performer RPM Airgap on the 454 in my 70 Monte Carlo SS and was extremely impressed. I never took it down the track but she sure pulled hard all the way through the gears.
