Single plane or dual plane intakes
 
I have 468s in a 28 Pantera with single plane team G intakes 850 carbs. Crane roller cams lift at valve is .578 in.&.595 ex. the duration is 232 in. & 242 ex. and Stainless Marine dry exhaust. Would I get better performance with dual plane intakes???

Dual plane intake would give more torque down in the 3 grand range, but would start to lose out above 4 grand,,,with the cams/setup your running,,,personally I'd leave it alone..changing intakes with the setup you've got you'd never be able to tell/feel any difference.not enough hp differences to be able to feel anything..save the money and buy gas..
Just my personal opinion

Hot Rod magazine does a lot of dyno testing and a recent article stated very plainly that an Edelbrock RPM Air-Gap was the best intake they've ever tested for engines smaller than 500ci turning less than 6,500rpm. It gave up only a few hp on the top end vs the single plane but retained the low end like we all know duel planes do.

So, single vs dual? Edelbrock RPM Air-Gap high rise dual is a damn good bet for most boats and cars.

What would that intake do for your engine? Probably fatten up your low end and mid-range a little but like others said above not likely to be worth the money if that's all you are changing.
