Gen III Hemi with 4-speed?

Don't believe I've ever seen a "stock to stock" dyno comparison of all the carb intakes side by side. About the most I've seen is a stock intake vs. 6.1 intake vs. XV, but since the stockers are FI and the XV is more aimed toward carbs, the dyno numbers aren't necessarily the fairest comparison. Granted in the controlled conditions of a dyno room FI vs. carb shouldn't be all that different. EFI is well known for driveability and adjusting for conditions automatically, but for WOT in a room the gap should narrow between the two.

There's really no denying that the XV and Indy have shorter runners than stock, which would tend to hamper low end grunt in favor of top end performance, but if you don't build to take advantage of it you might be leaving something on the table. I've seen an Indy dyno'd on a stock internals engine with a TBI system put down respectable numbers, but no XV on the same TBI system to compare.

Regardless, many here have had good luck with carb swaps and are making some serious power. HemiJoe had the Edelbrock setup for a while and ran some good numbers at the strip with it. Believe he's now doing a sheet metal custom piece (similar to an old cross-ram I think, but maybe not). Mopar has the Drag Pak setup now as well and there's the modified version that's a little less high-rise for at least a chance at fitting under a hood while still offering longer runners. My car ran okay with a carb, but I never could get it dialed in where I liked it. With more time and tuning parts I bet I could have gotten there, but a deal on a computer fell into my lap, so I went that direction.
