I know they make a Shaker baseplate, but the Stage 5 doesn't look stock. The Shaker pretty much hides the carbs & most of the intake, so it may be an option. I could modify my baseplate to fit the larger eddys, so that would save some $$.
I've got a Dana w/ 3.73's & a 4 spd & a decent lift solid lifter cam, so a little higher powerband might be ok. THe Chally's over 4K lbs w/ the hemi, so need all the torque the hemi will give. I noticed the welded in dams on the vanke photo & my Arruzza repop doesn't have that feature. Maybe I should weld it in? I only plan on spinning the motor to 6500, so do you think the Vanke mod is a good idea?



You have to open up the holes , spread them as the carbs are further apart , AND make the base a drop base because the intake is taller .

When the shaker is on no one can see the intake , plus it's worth 50HP .
