Motown Intake for SBC Questions
 

I am wondering if any of you guys have heard anything about the Motown Intake for the small block. I need to order an intake am not sure if it better than any others. I am building a solid roller 327 with about 10.5:1 CR and want a good single plane intake. Peak hp should be between 6,500 and 7,000 rpm. I have World heads and thought the Motown intake would finish the combo off nicely, but would a Team-G or Super Victor be better? I was looking for some dyno comparisons, but am coming up empty handed. Any ideas, or other suggestions. btw, I am trying to keep it under $300 bucks.

Kevin, after reading all of David Vizard's articles and dyno tests of intake manifolds, I'd do an Edelbrock Performer RPM air gap. It out performs single planes all the way to 7k.

I thought about that intake as well, but I was unsure if there were better intakes than edelbrock's line.

I was also seeing that the RPM Air-Gap runs out of breath at 6500 rpm. Wouldn't it be running out of air at 7000 or 7500 rpm? I read the article on the Air-Gap, but isn't a single plane intake going to be better for me?

The Brodix HVH is a bad mama jama. I have run a few, including on out 400" street racer. The Motown look similar, but probably falls short just about the time the HVH starts having fun.

+ roller
= RPMs

Took me a while to find it, but here's the article that came to mind when I posted about the RPM manifold. It's a really good read.

I read that same article and was surprised that the Airgap won the best overall intake manifold. I have one in a box and a 327/350 motor sittin around. I'd love to find a 69 Nova to drop it in. Any body got a decent priced Nova for sale?

Thanks for the info guys. I have a lot of reading to do. I had seen the first article from Super Chevy, but hadn't seen the second writeup.

I had heard that Weiand was coming out with a new manifold that competes against the RPM and was shown at PRI. Their Performer competitors seem to be good so I wonder what the new ones (Stealth and Stealth Air Strike) will be like?
