TFS tunnel ram

i have a TFS short runner intake for my 605 build and need ideas for a top.i'll be running a enderle bird on alky.most i see just use a flat plate and that may be best my other holmes intake has a top for the hat that sets up higher. i was thinking about building a top for this TFS but would it be best with a flat plate?

With a "hat".....flat should work fine. Be sure to use green oil

Look at how the plenums are shaped between the two manifolds. (I have one of each). The Holmes has a smaller plenum in the bottom half and more of it is built into the top half. The short runner new style has all of the plenum in the bottom half, and the 2 X 4 top is more or less a flat plate. As for you new style intake, a flat top will be fine for your Enderle.

If you ever want/need to make 'it' taller put a spacer between the flat plate and the base.

would it hurt anything if the plenum was big?like with a spacer under the hat?

I'll see if I can find a close-up Picture: 565 from 2000







ran it on the dyno with a single 1,050 against the old style single A-460 intake

I'm not sure how a guy would put a 'hat' on a pent roof top .

thats what i'm thinking G-Code! thanks for the pics. i did'nt know if the plenum volume would be a big deal or not,with the hat.

More to show ......if you can think it someone can build it. Making tops for T/R's is not aii that difficult.

I machined this out of plate,also have a top and a 2" extension for a buzzard size hat

bird,thats the way i've saw most use a hat on this intake.i wanted to make the top kinda like the one on the old intake i run now but did'nt know if that much plenum would hurt anything.thanks,nice pic too.
