Dual Plane vs Single Plane Manifold with TBI

Interesting, Interesting:

2bbl Sniper could be used with the Factory '89 - '91 318 TBI Intake.

Also the the 4 bbl Sniper would be a nice setup with the ready to bolt up LD4B 318 intake.

Then the subject of the plenum comes up with the LD4B. I think I would likely leave it as is and run it without cutting down the plenum, using the Sniper setup.

The theory I understand of the single plane vs the dual plane intakes is that at lower rpm the single plane manifolds allow cross pull of intake gasses from the other bank of the engine because both banks share the plenum.

On dual planes the 2 banks are blocked off, separated by the plenum divider, so you don't get that cross bank intake gas pull from side to side. Resulting a more controlled lower rpm range.

Have fun looking into things, I always like experimenting with ideas that will work.
