I read an article quite some time ago that suggested the LD340 was second only to the Air Gap.(not by much) Sorry I can't remember where I saw it, anyway this was the #1 choice for street/strip.
did. sold. for stupid money too. I love MoPar guys. a MoPar guy bought it.This coming from a guy that was running a MOPAR in a CHEVY:angry7::angry7:!!!
Big block intake shootout on a 383:

Airgap RPM wins
Can't find the small block shootout....I have it around here somewhere in print....the RPM Airgap wins.
can't get much better then a T-RamBest overall? A Single plane. As long as the distrubution is equal in all cylinders, a carb or EFI will perform great. FI has the abilty to overcome certain things a carb hs trouble with. Even more so with a single plane involved.
Good eye! I missed that....I was kinda rushing through this earlier before I went to work.That intake they show in the article is'nt an the "air-gap" it's just a rpm,and it still beat the others..:toothy10::toothy10:
Now let's really muddle things up and go for new age: EFI
On the same engines what will give the best overall performance?
A couple of years ago, I saw a manifold test in a magazine (Car Craft, I think) in which they tested several manifolds on a dyno mule (360, moderate hop-up) and the manifold that made the most horsepower was an M-1 single-plane, but it only beat the Eddy Air Gap by ONE horsepower, and gave away a bunch of mid-range torque in the bargain. Not a very good deal..
can't get much better then a T-Ram
cheers
Wow,in my internet searching I see lots of scanned articles but I guess its no suprise considering the corprate world we live in.

First off you should'nt be comparing any single plane intake to the air gap its a dual-plane..Secondly i don't really read much into what magazines say,they're trying to sell their product..as for me i run the Air Gap on my stroker and 360 it flat out works i've got time slips to prove it,and thats all that counts..:-D
I hope somebody does come up with a link to the article. I'd love to see it. I saw an article in a Chevy high perf. mag. recently that tested a bunch of manifolds and the Air-gap pretty much crushed the opponents. They did the test with 2 different cams too. A mild street cam and a pretty aggressive roller. Even with the big cam the Air-gap did better than any other manifold below 5500 rpm. Only a few made more power above that and even then the diff. wasn't much.
Myron (Locomotion) is a very consistant racer and has won in his class several times as Champion.
HIS combo, he'll tell ya works best with what he has for HIS APPLICATION and it very well may not work for you in what your doing.
Just because a intake does well on this test doesn't mean it'll do well for what you ned it to do. But, if you follow the piped pipers song, don't blame the dancin rats.
Have you seen or ever run something like this? its for a 440....... I just bought it and I dont know why!
