Some of the joy with the TPI is the incredible strength from low rpm, there are other manifolds for higher RPM.
How large is the engine going to be? A 400 definitively needs larger ports than a 350.
If we stay at 350 or 355 CI the engine will need around 200 CFM to reach 400 hp.
If that is at 5500 RPM we need app. 1.85-1.90 in minimum area.
What would be your opinion on a 302 CID engine? 4" bore x 3" stroke.
Not looking for high RPM such as the DZ 302 of the Trans Am series era. Just a smallish engine for the street that would use TPI induction. I'd often thought it would be reasonable fit. Now there's a fellow on another forum that is proposing to do just that.
Remember that the length of the TPI doesn't make it want to rev.
No need for more than 1.94-1,50 valves with TPI.

It still flowed 227 CFM bare at .500".
With the ported TPI base added flow dropped to 206 CFM.
Looking at the port I believe that the biggest flow loss is the floor between the head and manifold with that angle.

Erland
YES! That port angle is atrocious!! This is why Carnut raised the roof on the intake port. This has been what most guys do to try and offset that problem.
Raised the roof and bent the roof towards the port in the manifold?
The big problem is the floor.
Some spacers between head and manifold would help to bring the manifold up and make the turn.

The whole port is pointed at the port ceiling in the head. Guys that usually port the intakes for big flow weld up the tops of the intake and port it. This is why Carnut ported his the way he did with a sort of transition to head port in the roof. You could port the floor out and downward tilt it but I dont know if thats going to help the SSR any.

This was what I was thinking of when I replied last night. I don't know if it could be altered enough to pull the air downward enough without affecting airflow too much (or enough to matter)... at least then it would have a slightly better transition as it moves through the head. Since the air is already moving fastest along the floor of the intake, it seems to me like it would be counterproductive to try to get it to move upward just to aim it down into the head... but I could be totally wrong.

I put on a Edelbrock high flow elbow or whatever it is called and did a flow test.
Bare head at .500" 227 CFM. Base added 206 CFM. Elbow added 196 CFM.
I tried to flow with a tunnelram but the one I had taken had the flange welded up to high so I must take another tomorrow.

I just did a test with an Edelbrock TR1-Y manifold.
It flows 204 CFM and is as cast.
So 194 CFM for the TPI manifold is not that bad.

What is the CSA on the Edelbrock runners? I'm assuming that's what you were talking about (the 'elbow') in the previous post.

You still want to fill the cylinder at any revs, TPI won't like long duration cams either so area will help.
Just no point running 2" + if you don't enlarge the runners.
Ignorance leads to confidence more often than knowledge does.
Nah, I'm not leaving myself out of the ignorant brigade....at times.

Long duration cams will do the same as shortening the runners.
But, as it is said in 2 stroke tuning, pipe the port, don´t port the pipe.
The runner CSA must be calculated for the engine size and max hp RPM you are planning.
Then you must decide reflection and TPI will be the second reflection.
Actually third reflection is better with short duration cam to make reflections fit well with valve open and valve closed.

RobZ28 wrote: Sun Apr 14, 2024 9:47 pm I would think creating a curved roof on the intake port at the angle TPI meets the heads intake runner would make the resonance wave at that enlarged point, taller and slower, becoming misshapen…and probably dissipate the top… A larger resonance wave is slower than a small one so that part of the area would lag behind. So what does that mean when you’ve got 2 S turns and a 180 degree upward tube to go through all while changing your shape from rectangle, to square and to circular?

Probably not much given the big picture.

Of course, I could be totally wrong and everything I wrote is bull****. But at least it was articulate. :D

Pipe the port? :-k Does the third reflection mean that the elbows needs to be opened into a siamese?

Runners will stay divided, we will use the stock length and 2nd harmonic.

One bit of modelling I did on a similar build was that a 22" intake tract will show a peak in HP RPM at about 4900. A 20" is 5300 RPM. That's using the 2nd wave.

Ok Charlie, here is the PipeMax TPI Data.

Number Length Length Length ------ Description --------------------------------------------
1st 46.5357 = 5.4750 + 41.0607 typically Induction Length too long to fit or use effectively
2nd 23.2678 = 5.4750 + 17.7928 creates the highest Peak Torque, but may lose higher RPM HP
3rd 15.5119 = 5.4750 + 10.0369 ProStock, Comp Eliminator, etc. best Peak TQ and Peak HP Combo
4th 11.6339 = 5.4750 + 6.1589 Single-Plane Manifold, slightly less Torque than 3rd Harmonic
5th 9.3071 = 5.4750 + 3.8321 Peak Torque is substantially reduced, even though Tuned Length
Note: 1st and 2nd Harmonic Lengths sometimes create the highest Peak Torque, but may lose higher RPM HP
the 3rd Harmonic Length typically creates the best overall combination of Peak Torque and Peak HP
the 4th Harmonic's shorter Tuned Length allows for greater underneath Hood clearance

Note: all the above Induction System Tuned Lengths are based-off 0.500 inch Radius Entry Curve
if your Radius Entry is less, the Power Curve will be shifted slightly to a lower RPM Range
if your Radius Entry is greater, the Power Curve will be shifted slightly to a higher RPM Range
