Could someone explain the pros and cons of the two. Is one better than the other. If so why. Is one better for the street.
 
Dual plane is more efficient at lower rpm. Open plenum intakes produce more power in higher rpm. Generally speaking.

and to go along with that generally your street driven cars are low RPMs and generally race cars are high RPMs..
 
I did google it up. I’m just trying to understand “how” one makes more torque on the low end and one make hp on the top end.

I'm going out on a limb here but I'm going to say one creates more velocity at certain RPMs..
 
that’s my thinking also.
There's your sign.. thinking like me.. lol..

If you have tall gears the dual plain works best getting it off the line, low gears the single plain will benefit over the dual plain.
 
I have also heard that the dual planes are very hard to get even A/F ratios from cylinder to cylinder like you can with a single plane.
 
so that was a pretty good read. But it makes me wonder about my future stroker build. At what point do u say it needs a single plane intake. I would think it would be trial and error
And when you do your stroker build at what point do you say dual quad tunnel ram!!?..:D..
 
That’s funny j par. I’m pretty stoked about this build. The only prob is that now blue print just started with the short block 408 again. And that puts me on the fence about the 340 block I have. I can’t put it together for 2800 bucks that they want for theres

Another problem is can you warranty it for a year as well LOL... They are very hard to beat.. I just wish they would simply drill them for La heads and make them Universal I can't see where this would hurt them..

I thought it was universal. If not that would swing my away from them maybe. I still have so much research to do.

I think that might be the opposite. The center 4 cylinders are always going to be a bit rich.
 
engines must use Harland Sharp S72025K (1.5 ratio) or S72026K (1.6 ratio) shaft mount roller rocker arms for proper oiling.

Horsepower fans know that Trick Flow is all about developing products that provide maximum performance, such as the PowerPort® 190 cylinder heads for small block Mopar. The heads fit all non-emissions, LA and Magnum-series 318, 340, and 360 engines used through 2003. That’s right, even Magnum owners can now use readily available LA engine parts such as intake manifolds and valve covers.


This is just a copy and paste from the internet. I see where I got the universal part confused. It’s he heads not the block

They must be dual drilled

that would make since being the closest to the carb. But would the single not produce more volume than the dual. (I don’t know).
