Its amazing that even a low rise plane style manifold can pick up that much over the ported 90/90 combo. Its not even a top mount tb either. Wonder what distribution looks like inside there.

We think the 90mm TB thats on there is a restriction also. I'm going to try a 95mm to see if it helps. Its pulling a vacum in the intake, think Jeff said he was seeing 97 KPA.

Inside the manifold is just an open plenum the openings are nice and smooth to the runners.

There's one big problem that I see... it's too simple and way too easy to get to the jets. You must change all jets with one hand behind your back and blindfolded just to be like the rest of the world.

Damn, that's too bad. That looks like a really nice piece... I know beck and wilson make similar setups, but the $ they want for them is just a bit to swallow at this point. Of course that was probably no better when it was being produced.

damn, still not as bad as the beck intake though.

I'm still waiting for the ones that Et was supposed to release, another possible thought was a bard door style TB on top of an edlebrock single plane... but I'd rather stick to something more like what you have. Probably be a while before the fast comes off though, car needs way more attenion then the intake tract does
