Standard Intake to Max Wedge

How can the cross ram not be that good???

The max wedge had 100% volumetric efficiency at 6500 RPM...

Something they still can't do today with computer design and computer controlled engines, and they did it back in the day with slide rules and flow benches.... :prayer:

The crossram isn't as good because of all the turns the air has to make getting into the ports, IMHO. A good tunnel ram makes more power everywhere in the rpm band as far as a street/strop combo goes. The big INDY 440-25 crossram makes a lot more power than the max wedge does, and its a modern intake, if someone wanted to stick with that type of intake.
