Single plane on a street car??

The intake will be fine, better than a dual plane.

Those magazine tests are bull crap.

Had a Dart with a stick, 1.75 headers (way too big according to some), 284 MP cam, and a Torker. On street tires, you could leave at 3000 and walk the clutch out and get a decent run.

All we did was change to a Strip Dominator and at 3000 it would smoke the tires no matter what. So we kept working at it. Had to come all the way down to 1800 to get the car to 60 foot the same.


The moral of the story is this: the nine made so much more power about 2200 with the Strip Dominator it changed they way you had to drive the car.

I've said it for decades. The dual plane and single plane intakes don't use the same cam, or the same carb. If you run an 850 and 280ish cam on a dual plane, you need only a 750ish and 270ish cam with the single plane to get better power all over the curve.


It's about the package, not any single part.
