Aluminum Intakes - What are You Running?

Not true. Old wives tale. Those intakes run great. It was used on this trick 318 build for engine masters that made 477 horsepower.
I put the motor in my car, ran mid 11’s with it…. Nothing at all wrong with them.

I’d would love to dyno that engine with multiple different intakes just to see where everyone’s intake performs.
I mentioned I installed one on my son’s truck (in which I still have to get that picture as requested to me… I’m on it, promise.) Everything sat down nice. The ports sizes aren’t to worry about, smaller than the head by a wee bit, no big deal at all. I noticed the runners are thinner/smaller than the RPM’s. This by itself in m head can not support as much power as the RPM.

This does not mean I think the intake can not make or support good power, just not as much as the RPM.
I’ve been proven wrong before on such things of power making, but that’s where I stand on what I see. Hence the wish of dyno testing the various intakes. Let’s face it! That would be fun!

No matter how you slice it, that engine masters entry kicked some butt and for surely makes a fun engine in the car.
