Intake Runner volumes
#51
Give me a call 989 2137434 and we can set it up, dynoing my 502 today after straightening out un balanced injectors, heading to gas station for fuel in 5 minutes. Testing a new protype hp 500 air cleaner from aember next week then pulling motor off dyno. So will be available soon

I bet valakos NA 565 has no more than 310/320 max intake runner and he's well over 900 hp on pump gas. That certainly wasn't achieved with just out of the box anything. He prefers darts cause there's enough casting to port where necessary so he can achieve flow numbers like non others.

Have my doubts over 900hp out of a 320cc head.

I will confirm size and HP with Jim and post. I see rookie post and evidently knows something I don't or I was misinformed by Jim last weekend. If I'm wrong then I will certainly fess up to it.

I just realized that I havent seen much for discussion on intake manifolds... they are connected and an extension of the port are they not? or does size flow and velocirty only start at the manifold gasket?

My intakes are welded up and matched to my heads. But my ports are not standard oval or rectangle. Also, a single plane outperforms a dual plane on my engines. I didn't believe it until last summer.

Not sure what I was thinking. The math wouldn't work with his top speed anyway. We had to of been talking about a combination of builds with what I've got going on also.
I had the epoxied heads from Jim before he got all into welding. Lol. Regarding manifolds it was really mind blowing at the time however began to make sense with having a torqer 2 dual plane intake REC port on the raised floored darts and made more power. Not so uncommon anymore but in the late 80's people would thought you were right out to lunch.
