I've got this 2 inch Wilson going on an RPM Air Gap under a Terminator X Stealth. I dunno...

What engine combo is that on? did you test spacers to arrive at that as the best combo for your setup? I have an rpm air gap and had a 1" hvh tapered on it, reason I am asking as I'd love to know more. Thanks.

I haven't made it that far yet, bud. Been stalled forever on a block but it's a 10.4 ish 406 SBC for my '83 K10. I knew we'd have to test so I started with the tallest one because it looks cool, lol

The only thing I'm curious about is does all this apply on every engine? I say nope.

Would the results be the same on a 406 or 434?

Or a high compression 406 with VFactor heads?

Holley 300-110............WTF

Never discount the cool factor.

Clue me in as to why the tork link does not work please . Is it just a little off or way off? I figured with those long runners and high rise plenum it would make tons of mid range punch.

Lower runners are a disaster.
Upper plenum too shallow.
Too much turn in the runners.
The theory is bad, you can't run it divided, wrong cylinders pair up.

Hey now, McFarlain said the tork-link was the best intake since canned beer

Always knew we were copping BS off JM in all the old printed literature.

Plenum/floor work that was done on a record setting/Championship winning small block Ford intake manifold.

No way that works..

No aggressive burr finish.

I'm surprised it even idles.

FWIW,the burr finish will go the way of the dinosaur within the next few years.Just my uneducated .02

Scott,
Is that by hand or mill?
Those taller plenum Team G have a ton of material.
I am looking at getting a mill so I can machine the plenum area's, save a lot of grinding

[ChopperScott]

Steve,
That is by hand. I don't have a mill.
A ton of material and a ton of work.
The carb pad is still a 4150.
I've got a 'few' more hours grinding into it since those pics.
