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.
On a 350 I wait until 245 at .050 or larger of cam duration to go the Victor or Team G intake.
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.
This is on a 7,200 rpm engine with a solid cam.
On a solid roller 383 I would run the tall Victor with the a 1 inch spacer
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???

Dave, we say those about 3 years ago at nationals.
It seems more guys down south run them.
I have no flow data on them.

Isn't that similar to the old Crossram intake? I heard those didn't work too well... they don't make 'em anymore either.

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.

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 temp

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

yeah i'm not sure about there being regulations against electromagnetic cooling
