Was thinking of going with the Air Gap dual plane?
planning to run WOT around 5500.
so wath you guys think of this swap?
thank's JP

I had a similar setup with the air gap intake with a little bigger cam and carb. Wasnt bad but seem to flatten out on the top a little. Went with a Merlin single plane, 1" spacer and a demon 850. Woke it up quite a bit in mid range and saw a little increase on top. Your cam seems a little small on the lift. My boat was a 27' V bottom at about 4500 lbs.

interesting to hear,i was told by a couple friends to go with a little less cam and would do better.this is all new to me like i said before just got this boat last summer and only put about 4 hrs to it.

DanB,

Did you use an open spacer??

Yes, run the Air Gap on those heads.

Chris

not sure if you can call it open,it's home made or modified and about 1/2" thick and 4 holes shape open in centre and it sit off centre toward the back.

wy with those heads ?
thank's for the advice JP.

notice in other threads lots of talk about spacers,how do you know you need one ?is it a HP/TR bolt on or just used for fine tuning ?

Air gap is designed for 6500 rpm. It is a nice match to the GM ovals. Manifold will widen the powerband out and give you more useable power.

Chris

thank's for the clarifition.
