OOps, Forgot to mention that several slanters tested the Aussie intake and felt that the Clifford made more power.Now these were dedicated drag cars so.....I sure like the looks of them though.
I'd bet the Aussie made a nice FAT TQ curve. Long port runners make for lots of right off throttle torque. It's all about the larger mass of air rushing into the ports as the valve closes. It will be denser when the valve opens.
I would be willing to give up 15 HP on top to gain 10 in the midrange. Right about where the RPM would be after a 5000 RPM shift.
Not wanting a drag car, just something I can drive around that goes like $hit & still posts decent times on the track.
