Intake ????

[Pentastar Pete]

I having a 360 built for my 74 Challenger.. I'm in the market for an intake..   
The car is going to be street driven, and every now and then a run down the track.
Whats the difference in performance between a single and dual plane?
and what the benefit to a high-rise, with the rallye hood I def. have the clearance....

Thanks Peter

Does anyone have an opinion on the Summit stage 3 intakes??

Hey Pete, the summit intakes are good for the $$, but not as nice as the Air-gaps.  But will work nicely or your 360.  If $$$ is the issue then the Stage 3 if not Air-Gap.

Tom, is that the summit stage 3 with the raised plenum???

[422STROKER]

Yes, I'm running it on my SB stroker and only have 1 complaint, cold start-ups are slow with the heatless intake.

Tom.... There are more than one....lol Just not from you   

I don't think I'll use another one. 

They have casting issues, possible sealing issues, hole finishing issues, sensor fitting (mechanical gage) issues... But they are alumium, and they do work once the issues are addressed. But $ for $ in terms of a builder, go for the Edelbrock.

I went with the RPM non-Airgap, so that I could have great midrange and not have the engine take a longtime to warm up during a cold start. 

A dual plane is mainly for low and midrange rpm power. 
A single plane is mainly for midrange and high rpm power. 

Since you plan to mainly have a street motor I would go with the dual plane, but to give you a good choice, we need to hear what you plan to use in the motor; i.e. compression, heads, cam, carb, etc.

That's why you make the big $$$.

I just drive it and report back.

Yes I would probably spend the extra dough if i did it again.  But I think it is good for the $$$.
