You can make the runners to flow what ever you want.

Most sheetmetal intakes that fit under stock hoods have some compromising built in, because of space constraints. But they will do as good as the FAST 90 stuff for sure.

Well maybe I will be more spacific than..In my case I was going to run a car intake but since my allpro heads flow 376cfm It would take ALOT of work to get the intake to flow with the heads..With sheet metal your building the runner to the head and setup..Insted of trying to port it to mach.

what do you know! you cant compete in limited street!!!!
Some noted shops prefer the single plane for better distribution across all the cylinders. Feeling with the sheetmetal intakes is that some cylinders, like the back cylinders, could be leaner than the fronts. I doubt most folks would even get to that level of concern though.
