Help with manifold power question

[tommybunz]

i currently run a rpm up& low for my 351w. the upper ears have broken and the up hits the hood. now i ordered a new hurricane manifold and eddy. elbow. do you guys think that the new manifold is going to be over kill for my build. will i loose alot of power or torque with my na motor. poss. spray soon to

Can you post a pic of the new intake? I wouldn't think so. 351w's have plenty of torque so I think you will be fine.

Prob be some what over kill but nothing devistating. If your gonna spray, nitrous is a huge torque monster.

If it's a mild 351w, I think the carb'd lower with an elbow is too big.

You got Windser SR head. Then I wouldn't say that intake would be to big for you. I would say run it. I had a buddy that had a spyder intake set up just like the one you are talking about and he had smaller heads than you got and that intake preformed great on his car. He was N/A on a 351 stock bottem end and at the Time I had a 99 GT on a 100 shot with bolt-ons and we raced and he was at my rear tire the whole time. LOL So it ran good. I don't think the intake was to big for him and you got better heads, so I don't think it will be to big for you either. Thats my 2 cents worth.

Why is it 2 cents worth but only a penny for your thoughts? LOL

yeah i was thinking that my elbow is 90mm and my tbody is 70mm. but i dont see the big difference in the elbow from the rpm upper i run now. i dont know we'll see

Pic wouldnt load for me, how about just saying what it is and who makes it, if it's an ebay thing then I probably have never heard of it, because i don't build my car off ebay, lol. Edelbrock makes a very nice, cost effective EFI carb style intake that works with that elbow and is very high quality, the ports are large and smooth, adn casting is perfect. I know lots of guys running them on windsors, they do run very well, and do ease up on the amount of torque they make.
