Here ya go.
If I didn't like the way the new Edelbrock intake looked and wanted to mess around I would do a Converted Dual plane intake with a Elbow and monoblade. I think it would do better than most single planes below 6500RPM IMO.

YES! That is the manifold I am talking about. But the only thing is.......ANYONE with access to the tools can make one.

It's funny how people automatically think dual plane's are like taboo or sumin'. It's all about usable rpm range and what you want to do with your car.

So we're talking about a semi-major design flaw here? Why don't the LS-style intakes (with the TB in front) have distribution problems as well? Does anyone here utilize a carb-style dual plane as described earlier?
#49
Do you think something like this might help with the distribution? Basically build a sheet metal box inside the intake to seperate the front 4 cylinders from the rear. You'd have to match the volume of both sides but it would prevent the first 4 from "stealing" air from the last 4. My other idea was using 2 stock TBs, one on the front and one on the back of the intake(where egr usually is) but I don't think there's enough room.

why would anyone go through all that work when you can just get a carb style intake and fix everything.
