Intake

Hey guys i was wondering ur opinion on a intake. I have a 429 with lunati voodoo cam 284/292, dove c heads with valve job, and 10.5:1 compression. I have a offey port o sonic intake, but i was considering getting a edelbrock air gap for i think better street use. What do yall think?

jmo,the port o sonic would not be my pic for a street intake. Dual plane for street driving.

x2 on the dual plane for street

If I remember correctly, there was a thread floating around where they compared a bunch of different intakes. I'm searching for it as we speak

Ok, i hope to get in the 450-500hp range

Also i was thinking of upgrading to a victor jr next year, but it says u must port stock type heads to match the ports. Would i also have to port my dove heads to match?

the air gap intake will net you more torque over the offy for sure

Probably not necessary, but you can do it if you like.

It will work with dove heads without port matching it I ran mine without port matching it at 1st.But when I upgraded to flat top pistons,and custom cam I needed to port my heads to match my intake but do not do any porting on the intake itself. If you port match your intake I would use 1230 intake gasket to do it not the 1231 the 1230 is a cj gasket the 1231 is a scj gaskit.

With an engine with that short of a stroke and unaware of the application, I agree with most, use an intake with two floors!

Anybody goin down!.. ..

as bad as the Awfulhoser intake flows and as small a ports are in it you know it might work but I would use a duel plane and throw the Awfulhoser in the beer can pile... they suck at best...

LOL well i decided to go with a weiand stealth intake and sell this old offey lol
