Whats everyones intake of choice for the warmed over sb chevy? I've always been a Weiand guy myself. Had good luck with the action plus.:)
I have an edlebrock, works fine for me, but then again its just a stock motor
On the 383's or larger at 240 at .050 of cam duration I start looking at the Victor or Team G manifold.Quote:

If the cam is smaller than 240 at .050 of cam duration I will run an RPM Performer Air gap.
If the engine is a stocker type rebuild I try and run the Performer.
Where do you go on the 383's with a solid roller, Erik??? Saw a new circle burner intake the other day, got to try to find a pic of it......
On the smaller tracks less than a half mile we run a Victor with a 1 inch spacer.Quote:

On our USMTS engines we run a Super Victor or a Dart intake.
Here's the intake I was talking about, it's called a Torklink, 6 1/2 " tall.... Any experience with them or flow time????
Right side feeds left bank, left side feeds right bank. Specs say it works from 2800 to 6500 with peak torque at 4000 RPM-----seem reasonable???? Claim is for 20 ft lbs. torque increase @ 4000 RPM???
one of thr other teams are using one on a short track has the power coming out of the corners but a bit restricted in the top end. But by saying that we can only run a 355 and a 600cfm vac sec carb under the class rules (Limited saloon). They are now running a victor junior.
By top end....at what revs does it run out of power? Around 6500 like the ad sez????
Well with our class restrictions, i would say he was running out at around 6200 and thats being generous. I think the bigger worry is keeping the intake air cool, and that those big long runners act as a heat sink. We find with our victor junior and one inch spacer that having good cool intake air and painting the underside and runners of the manifold with ceramic heat insulating paint it gives a slight edge,but i must add that the scutineers are frowning.
Dave Me and Duanne are in the chat room Now >>>
What Do You Guys Think About The Brody Hvh1000?
:confused: the whut ?
I Am Talking About The Brodix Hvh 1000 Single Plane Sbc Intake Manifold
have you considered using a peltier block to cool your intake? you could get her down to about 45*s with one, the big problem then would be keeping the heat from the topside of the block from interfering with intake air tempQuote:

them tork-link have been around for some time had my eye one but i ever used one but i was thinking when i seen it that it would work good
We would have to look at the rule book on that one. But as it turns out Dave wants to run it on a 383 street engine so the scrutineers rules dont apply :3dSMILE:Quote:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peltier_cooling theres a wikipedia article to give you a general overview of what it is... from there you can dig deeper..... their most common application right now is in computers to bring processors down below freezing tempatures......no one makes one for automotive application but i've been looking into finding out how one is made to possibly make my own.... to cool intake charge.... you can find small blocks for computer use but they only would cover a 3"x3" surface area........ i'm looking into makeing one that would fit around the carb base, and have water passeges on the top side with lines that could be tapped into the heater hose connections
TA, I will have a looksee and think about it, what about interuption to air flow ?
The guy wants a manifold for a "warmed over" engine in the first post. The Brodix is rated for 4,000 to 8500 RPM..... Probably not the rpm range he would be looking for.....Quote:

dave if i had your money i would buy one and try it out i seen that intake well over four years ago and was thinking at the time it was a must have on a small block just have not seen any on the street .i was think it would do a fine job on a 383/400
I really like the design on it, Pat. Not sure if that is just because it is unique or because it looks like it should work!!!! Did a bit more research on it today in a few places on the net. Most users seem quite pleased with the performance, and a few said it does great on the low end, and works great up to about 7200. Haven't seen any dyno results with it, but might just have to give one a try. Been looking for an excuse to build a cowl induction hood anyhow!!!!!:LOL: :LOL:
dave my feeling on this intake is it may work very good but it is not a eldelbrock or dart weiand/ holley so it may not get the press like the big boys
Maybe you're right. This would be going on the Camaro that I'm building for my girlfriend. We'll chassis dyno the car for tuning puposes when we are done building. The engine will be a 383 so I'm certain that there is enough performance history on it that we would be able to tell if it works.
But yeah, If one of the majors didn't build it you probably won't hear a lot about it until the manufacturer contributes enough ad money to the appropriate hot rod rags.... Sad but true, isn't it????
As for the Maro, I'm still totally at a loss as to the camshaft. 10.0 CR, this intake, stepped equal length headers (1 3/4, 1 5/8?). I want to run a solid roller, if it was a Ford Windsor I would say around 290 duration and 540 lift, what do these chebbies like????
this is a stick car ?or auto?
Stick, I hope!!!! I'm 99.9% certain that I have here talked into a 5 speed, if not, I guess she just won't like the car... I can't stand the thought of being shiftless!!!! So yeah, it's gonna be a 5 speed.....:LOL: :LOL: :LOL:
Nice soft cutch ? The fairer sex dont like it when they have to arm wrestle the pedal to the floor.
soild roller lunati 50101. 112cl 298/298 526/526 rpm 3200/7000 or crower00427. cl 112 290/296 585/597 rpm 3250/7500 or isky rr-575. cl 108 284/284 .576/.576 rpm2600/6500 this cam would work good i think with a5 speed?? but then i just like looking at cam books:whacked:
Yeah, McLeod makes some very nice street clutches that take acceptable amounts of left leg effort....Quote:

i would never stop looking at them cam books if they had hot women in them to ?yes i am a pig but happy
"Yeah, McLeod makes some very nice street clutches that take acceptable amounts of left leg effort...."
Dave, I have had real good experience with Centerforce. Good clamping force and a nice easy pedal.....real easy......
I've looked at them Tech, but never have used one. Are you talking about the diaphram type with the weigted center????
Thats the best centrifugal set up for the street performance clutches
Isn't that similar to the old Crossram intake? I heard those didn't work too well... they don't make 'em anymore either.Quote:
