They make a nice mid-level drag or hot street intake but I think the 3,500-8,000 RPM range would be a little high for woods work.

Open plenum(?) intakes ain't known for low end grunt!

I have run Edelbrock Performer intakes (EDL-2161) on a couple mild 454's that I have owned with great success.

Hotrod car or mudbogger yes anything else probably not.

I didn't know if you where joking or not about running a set-up like that?

I called a buddy that runs a simialar set-up on his drag car and he says his BG 1050 Holley/Victor jr cost almost $1100 bones, just to get an idea of what the bidding could do.

whew* thats pretty expensive! hahah, and no i wasnt jokin - as crazy as it sounds, before it closed for the winter i took my truck down to the fairgrounds to race the 1/8 against my friends trucks. its definately alot of fun and we'd get some crazy looks from the ppl watching otherwise we wheel mostly mud, not too many trails close by that i know of.

so yeah thats kindof what im lookin for, if not for the price...

well, actually my gas mileage is bad enough..

 

[JeffHK5]

With a 1000+ cfm carb you ain't talking mileage your talking feetage .

I wouldn't drop a set-up like that on a stock BBC , unless your talking LS6 most factory big blocks would drown under that flood of fuel!

No trails in Tennessee , WHAT!

You will not be happy with this manifold, it's all top end, and it sucks for cold weather driveability.

I love my Weiand Stealth, it's a dual plane and range is off idle to 6800 RPM.

It's a pretty good setup - for a bracket racer.
