I’m not sure why more don’t use the Brodix intakes. I have them on my stroked sbc’s and on my 565’s. They perform great for me anyway. Throttle response is incredible. I think Tom mentioned the 1050 - 4150 carb which would be a good carb also. The 950’s always seem to be close right out of the box also. I realize much smaller but they just work every time.

Nice thing about that combo is you bolt on and go boating. Not as efficient but no screwing around.

It's the square plug version and it has serpentine belt. And the person to tune close buy is very good but extremely exspensive and is very hard to get infront of. So carb and intake it is the boat will only see one lake and river locally and Havasu. So extremes in elevation and temp ect are not present . Was thinking holley e.f.i but there is alot of extra cost involved. I was looking at a merlin with a 950cfm carb 4150. Motor will be dynoed before installing in boat. Next is headers . Still trying to figure out what route to go. Did not want to spend more on the headers than the whole motor lol.

That’ll work really well so long as the carburetor isn’t a Demon.

Personal inside joke.
