340 intake opinions..
« on: June 02, 2008 - 01:41:44 PM »
Is there a concensus on the best 340 intake? My 340 is 9.5:1 ported J heads and a 750 carb. I currently have a single plane offy. I hear the air gap is pretty popular as well as the eddy performer. Shouly I use a single plane or 2 plane.

The torque is nice but with 3:91 hears should I use a single plane? Thanks for the opinions in advance.

In most cases, nower days, the high rise dual plane is allmost impossible to beat on the street. The single plane intake shold be left alone for racing. The high rise dual plane has more torque down low and gives nothing up on high rpm's to the single plane intakes.

Edel.'s RPM, ethier style, Weiand Stealth, etc......

Low rise dual planes should be left on the shelf for most high performance street rides. The Weiand Action plus is an exception to the rule in the way they (Weiand) advertise it. As a replacement of sorts. The performer can really wake up a 318 and smaller engine well, but is not much better than a OE iron intake on the larger mills. 340 and up.

For a single plane intake, I like the Mopar M-1 with a T-Q on top. Learning the way to tune a T-Q will throw most people a curve and the difficulty will have a different carb on top quick for many. I noticed Steve D. of MoparMuscle mag seems to like them. I remember he tuned on up and made more power than a Holley and a dual plane on a Big Block. Thought that was interesting.

I would go with a high rise dual plane like the Edelbrock RPM intake.  It will give you good torque and hp for the street.  I have heard the Weiand Stealth is good, but I have never tried it.

thanks for the advice. Will the eddy RPM fit with the shaker? I have an otrg shaker setup and would like to hear if the RPM high rise cause any clearance problems.

Thanks

I am not sure about the shaker, but I had to have a low-rise aircleaner on my carb, because I would have hit the hood other wise

Try one of these Weiand dual planes , the #8007 is a spread bore for a T-Q or the #8022 Square bore for a Holley..
Works for me and it should fit with the Shaker. I also use a 3/4" spacer with the T-Q.
I ran a taller intake and a taller spacer on my SuperStocker years ago with the shaker and had no height problem..
