The ~65Hp diff flywheel to rear wheel posted by TT Mag is about what I've experienced, all things being pretty close to 'right'. I can tell You that My buddy's '70 AAR was stuck in the 103's in the 1/4, as soon as He yanked the old B&M 10" juicewheel & put a modern 9.5" in there it ended up in the 109's,....with 9.7:1 & the 292°/.508" cam it was slogging out of the hole begging to get up on that cam....& was more efficient on the top end.
Brainstormin' 440 vs 5.9 ...

yep! The only other one I have is the factory cast iron one.
100%. All of it, 100%
LOL.... sounds good, but actually.... I couldn't...
Well that'll help it out with the headers.
I hope. Some think because of the stock set up and low compression, the dual plane would do it better. I don't know myself....
That's because they've never had a big block for one. Two, they don't know about those particular intakes. They are in the same class as the Holley Street Dominator, which those guys probably don't know about, either. Big blocks are a class all their own since the intake manifolds are all air gaps from the factory. Couple that with a single plane design and you have tons of air flow cooling off the intake charge.
Nice!
You know, people must really wanna race real, real, real, REAL bad on the ice.
If that's the same intake I posted page45 post#1104, I might be willing to pay to ship Mine to You to do a back-to-back with the untouched one, let Me know if that interests You.
That and then the overall runner length combined with the port length. Almost any aftermarket single plane manifold made for a 440 will outperform the stock iron intake across the entire rpm band just because of the improvement in airflow.
I will have to check mine. Maybe I will get down there and look tomorrow
I don’t believe that.

Two atmospheres are better than one
How come? It’ll be out of cylinder head, valve spring, and camshaft long before it benefits from a single plane intake.
You have a couple months to mess around, if I were you I'd look at putting a tunnel ram on that 440 and get the carbs right. It will be good, if you don't have the money....look at the high and mighty car and build something.
Not answering for turk, just replying.
The single plane runners of the old school design are pathetic for size. Airspeed won't be an issue.
Burr finish the **** out of that single plane & it will be even better
I don't quite understand the last part. High and mighty car and build something?????? Anyways, I will try to get the 440 in and running by opening day at the track. We are super busy, and in the heart of winter, my transmission is about 75 miles away .... but we'll give it a valiant effort for opening day.
I'm super busy to.
Build a tunnel ram like the old hot rodders did lol
yeah, it's gotta make a pass as the "RV" 440.. lol. The intake was installed long before I thought of doing what we are doing, it's why it has the torker on it now
Oh yeah lol, the torker will be awesome on it.
That was the whole premise. Large plenum and long, small runners. Those two things increase velocity. Same as the Streetmaster and Street Dominator. It's a Torker, it's not a Victor of M1 or Indy or some such. It's a STREET intake.
That's exactly why I answered the question as I did.

I’d love to see that tested. Regardless of cross sectional area and airspeed the runners are still half the length of a dual plane.
The easy way

Now a tunnel ram!! I’m definitely on board with that. Best of both worlds.
