Mighty tall intake on that dyno. The resulting torque curve plot was neat to see. Love it
when induction theory comes to life when dyno runs like this are videotaped for our enlightenment.
Same as it ever was -- Check out "The HIGH & MIGHTY" that the Ramchargers (a group of young Chrysler engineers back in the late '50s)
put together:

If you took those Sky Ram runners and crossed them across the valley, then smoothly curved them back into a common plenum, I bet it would fit under the hood easier.
Not sure where you'd find a setup like that though. Certainly not on mid-late 80's sports cars. Who would put a truck intake on an application like that?
Komet, I read your TPI build with great interest, for I actually have a complete L98 under the bench, and
would love to find an early RCSB GMT400 that needs repowering. I would enjoy the challenge of
building a complementary, carefully tuned exhaust setup, and end up with my own
355SS.
(And keeping the '99 C2500 of course, no replacing that. :0)
Anyway, your comment reminded me of the old Chrysler 413 equipped with the crossram 2x4
induction setup:
"Sonoramic Commando" -- kinda just rolls off the tongue, doesn't it?

So many super trick powerplants over the years...
