Deep Port Matching Intakes- Worth extra cost?
There;s no reason IMO to port a dual plane unless you are forced to run it. Use a single plane if you feel you need more power. I think for what you're building the RPM is the best choice. Gasket match it and forget the Hughes fluff.
Thats a boldly generalized statement.:shock:
There is way more to it than that, way more.
Those reading that should look into basic manifold design/pros cons and consider rpm/cam range, cfm goal/requirement, velocity application to the concerned combo, carb size, usage, the list go's on....
Total flow is not everything when it comes at the sacrifice of needed velocity. Single plane manifolds flowing 20 cfm more than the current dual plane can actually hurt the velocity to a point that you make LESS power, let alone the 180 design allows for stronger pulses by separating consecutive firing cylinders that would rob signal/charge from one another.
I won't write a long winded explanation, those who want to know can simply google the diff, I hope they do.
While some accidently stumble into power with mixed up combos.... The proper dosage is most important.
