Aluminum Intakes - What are You Running?

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.

I kinda wondered regards a different intake on that engine myself. Not sure if it was a dollars and cents thing regards taking it to the competition with that crosswinds or what.
I took that 248/248 cam he dynoed it with out, ran a smaller one. 10 degrees smaller. Never ran the thing much past 6200 shift points..still not a huge believer in beehive’s regards beating on them at the track, so I didn’t push them……
I sure loved that 950 carb…lol.. very crisp.
I bought a pro systems 950 from Patrick, didn’t run as good as that dyno mule 950. When I sold the car, I kept the dyno mule, let the shiny new pro systems piece go with it.
Now a buddy will have it on my old 360 I sold last winter, going in his Scamp( waiting for him to get it out of my bay so I can start getting my car finished with the new BPE heads)…we are getting his out Thursday night, mine gets out of here Friday..finally
I have seemingly gotten rid of the best carbs I have owned over the years. Now I have an 850 race brawler I don’t think is nearly as good as the 950…I may borrow it from him to see…be a while before his is running…….
