Mod man six pack and shaker
« on: January 19, 2015 - 10:31:04 AM »
I'm probably reaching here but:
Car is 70 vert Barracuda with 528 wedge and Tremec.
Has anyone used the Indy Mod Man intake with a six pack set-up?  Additionally has any one used a Mod Man with a shaker?
I had a motor built for me, (builder disappeared-long story) he used a large Indy dual-plane.  I want to replace my rallye hood 4 barrel with a 6bbl shaker.  Upon pulling intake it seems that I am near max wedge sized porting.  I know going six pack route will likely cost me some HP but the standard 6bbl intake seems it will really choke down on airflow.  I already have the shaker hood and six pack.  The shaker is a must and would consider keeping the big Indy intake but I don't think it will fit the shaker.
Any thoughts much appreciated,
Thankyou

The intake height is pretty much the key here.  I dont beleive you will have clearance to run a stock shaker.  I had to make my own shaker base after switching to just a e brock perf intake on top of a 440.  It wasnt hard for me to do on my app by just using good gauge flat aluminum, a plasma cutter and a grinder.  Even then though it only lowered the shaker just enough to close the hood (and I was also able to use the rubber seal, and it seals better now than it did before)

Six packs look cool, but seems a lot of folks struggle with keeping them dialed in right.
