Re: Need a new Toy?




Stan,

How long are the runners in a stock Poly dual quad intake or the Weiand single four Poly intake?

So... how tall is this "tunnel ram"? Carb and air cleaner will take what eight inches themselves? Plus clearance so engine can torque over and not hit hood. Is it an individual runner or common plenum? Those short runners will have no bottom end, and if manifold is any good at all will flow more than any poly head ever did. Got a cam and convertor to match intake? Sounds neat, dont think it will work, cept for some wow factor.

Yes, I don't think any modern intake can beat a Tunnel Ram
for Max HP & Torque, even the "old school" Weiands...of
course a tunnel is not a user-friendly manifold for the
average Hot-Rodder due to height (for one) which requires no
hood or a cut-out for clearance.

I will be running a Tunnel Ram on my Poly but I designed
the manifold to fit under the hood...of course I have more
hood clearance than most people (approx. 16" from top of
block face) so I can get away with a "tall enough"
tunnel ram to make it effective and still have the stealth
factor.

Indy refers to it as an "In-Line Cross Ram".

Below is a comparison of the manifolds. Looks like
the Tunnel Ram won out.
