Smallblock intake manifold shootout.

I've raced just about all the intakes your all talking about. First it's a little unfair to compare intakes in this way. Nothing works like a good combo. Just what combo is best takes a lot of testing and tuning. Some intakes may work better with a particular cam and heads, while others not at all. Yes duel and open plenums are different in the torque ranges, but so too are intake configurations. Manufactures want you to buy their products, so they all say they make the best. The magazine findings help a little, but like so many on her have said, "it's all about the bucks". Best way is to go out to the track and talk to some of the people that do this all day during the test and tune times at the track. They're a wealth of knowledge. Good luck.

Not really sure why you directed this at me?,I was just curious to see the mopar muscle article lol,what your saying is very true but also common sense for those who have spent any time at the track,tuning,building engines ect.I port my own intakes so I dont worry about the out of the box flow,if its close to the right design then it will flow correctly when Im done or I wont use it,its very nice to have access to a flow bench.I will say the rpm intake is very strong intake flow wise out of the box and the design is unbeatable for a street car,I use it pretty much on everything with the next step in perfomance being the victor or simlar intake.
