Smallblock intake manifold shootout.

Everyone's got the right to thier opinion. What's right for an individual application is up to the owner and builder. If someone built a race engine and stuck the same intakes on it, the results would be much different. I ran stock intakes for years with great results (that '71 iron with a Thermoquad) on my 318 and 340s. But the performance of my engines has gotten better with using these modern parts. I have two of those Thermoquad intakes left on a shelf. Until I build a stock displacement mild smallblock, they'll sit there holdign the plywood down because better ones exist.
