So I have a chance to buy a weiand xccelerator in good condition it is 225.00 what do you think. I feel it would make a really good stroker intake.?
Yeah I run an m1 for many many years and is one of my personal favorites the only thing I was considering is the square bore flange. But $250 for a new m1 is a killer deal no getting away from that.Like this one pictured below?:
Search history here for ones that have sold. Seems to fly under the radar. Don't think I'd pay $225 for one.
Call Matt a Glendora Dodge Mopar Performance (909) 675-0268 and he has a NOS stash of MP M1 small blocks for $250. Brand NEW !
Much rather have a brand new M1 with a raised plenum to allow air to cool underneath it.
I have an M1 on my 416 stroker. Worked great. It's not as aggressive as say a Victor single plane. The M1 has more curved runners. Like that Weiand.

Yes this would be for a stroker, I really see no advantage of a dual plane with a 4-in arm there's gobs of torque below 3,500 RPMs and and I personally would not run a dual plane on a stroker.Kinda depends on your build... Heads? Cam? Gears? Stall speed? It's a single plane, so it's not gonna start building power until a little higher up, say 3-3500 rpm...
For a standard head, the Weiand is way better than the Holley Street Dom. Now the Holley STRIP Dom would be the better of the two.I think a Street Dominator would win out over the Accelerator. By a good bit. It would certainly have a bit more on the bottom and match the Accelerator at least on top. Maybe better. ...and I agree. 225 seems a bit steep, BUT new intakes are either hard to get, you cannot get, or they take forever to get. So I'm sure that affects used intake prices.
Like said above, a lot depends on the cam, gear, stall, etc…. Of the engine and what it is designed to do. A dual plane like the RPM is an excellent choice for a mild compression medium sized cam and gear ratio. This would be great in a heavy A body, as in, power everything and A/C along with any other thing that adds weight.Yes this would be for a stroker, I really see no advantage of a dual plane with a 4-in arm there's gobs of torque below 3,500 RPMs and and I personally would not run a dual plane on a stroker.
This is your set up in the “Autocross Cuda” correct?
