nope, if anything it gives better distribution to each cylinder then the composite intakes do. It seems like they are being used more and more as a viable alternative to the overpriced composite intakes.

here is one we just finished up

We have the GM carb style intake and use a Speedtec plate.

5.62@123 with a 1.28 60ft on 275/60/15 radials. I really like the plate setup. We use EGTs on each cylinder and after 300 pills you have to really watch the distribution. If you stay below 300 it is good but after that the EGTs get to far apart.

We have plumbed many of Vic JRs with great results. We also plumb spray bars in the intake. This saves clearence from running a plate.
Check out this link. There are quite a few in there.

that will work fine. a carb style plate will work well and increases plenum volume. be prepared to chop up your cowl though.

We ran that same set up on Tonys car a few years back. Works fine. The plate is about 3/4 thick so take that into calculation.

IF you were worried about clearence issues then you could have the intake plumbed with spray bars and it would be like turning the intake into a plate.

I have a DP and a plate on my GMMP single plane and I haven't had any issues.

What are some more details about your setup? Carb, cam, heads?
