XV 3rd Gen Hemi intake

Not sure if you guys have seen this, but it looks great. I'm sure it works well also.

as long as you are running a boosted motor it works great. Otherwise you loose too much torque to make it a reasonable option for an NA motor. That has been around a while and we tested them six ways from sunday.

Or you could make some spacers that are 1.5 inches tall and get the runner length, I'm sure that would help.

So does the problem lie with the Throttle Body intlet tube or neck - or the actual manifold?

The stock runners on a 6.1/5.7 manifold are about 17 inches. The plenum volume is sizable as well. Those single plane manifolds can't begin to duplicate amount of volume and the velocity trade off wont help unless you have a 2500# car that wont take a lot of torque to get moving. Even then, the gen3 hemi valve train is in its infancy, you can't spin a motor hard enough to make it up with horsepower.

Anyone done a dyno comparo between the EF intake and a carb SP intake?

Jerry at Sharadon has. He posted it in this forum a while back. 6.1 vs 5.7 vs XV.
