Need fuel advice

[beardeddummy]

I have original spider and pretty sure it's done after 253k it should be. I Would like to change my intake completely I do not like the stuff inside my air passages. I ve looked at the marine swap but i can't seem to find one. I have found other setups but was wanting to know if someone has tried either the stealth ram or holley 4 barrel intake. If so what problems were found. And how much difference it made.

You'll lose some torque with any of these intakes, just the way it goes with shorter runners. You could also do the TPI thing.

I like that. How much torque are we talking about losing?

I would recommend this,

http://www.jegs.com/i/Edelbrock/350...yZQ7WrPCd7_FZHi4PoIVM-fhveMQNJ5E7ZBoCjibw_wcB

It's a fair bit cheaper, even with the special rails it comes in under the cost of a marine intake.

Whether you give up torque or not, is doubtful in this application. Knowing how the stock setup is all choked and stupid shaped, I bet you gain everywhere with it. Although, in a stock application, it's probably not worth it. It would shine in an application that was stroked, or turbo'd, or otherwise needed larger than stock injectors.

How do you think that will react to 268 xfi cam and promaxx heads

Gonna keep on the n/a side for my first build. Any ideas on hp/to with this setup bored .030 over?

 

[Jrgunn5150]

I have no idea, guy's either do next to nothing to these trucks, or go so far it's completely unrelatable to the average guy it seems lol.

I just want a good dd with good power nothing too crazy. But I also have an addiction to not ever being satisfied. My dream vehicle will go anywhere, smoke a hellcat, and corner like it's on rails. All while getting 20 mpg not too much to ask is it?

 

[Ironhead]

Yeah, the dream vehicle, LOL. Mine is like yours, only it also rides like a 58 Buick, and has a backseat like a Lincoln Town Car, circa 1975.

I'm hardly a Vortec Expert, but I would consider the Edelbrock a contender for a real build simply due to the price, and I've never had an Edelbrock piece have ****** workmanship in any way.

That's good to know
