360 Intakes

Well, you're about the fourth person who's told me that, so I'm wondering why they ever went to the trouble of making that intake.

The Trans-Am series, for which the T/A was named, only alowed one four barrel on their "Ponycar" racers, and had a 5-liter engine size-limit. They had to de-stroke a 340 to make the program.

Msybe if you put some 500-cfm Holleys on this manifold, and put it on a 408" stroker, it might make more power than a 4bbl, but since it's a 180-degree (dual-plane) low-riser design, and there are so many really good single-plane, 4bbl designs from which to choose, I doubt it.

Of course, it has a LOT of visual appeal, and if a person wasn't interested in all-out horsepower, it would make for a lot of admiring glances at the cruise-in... or, car show. Drag racing isn't "EVERYTHING" to everybody, I guess.
