Most people will not spend the big bucks like you did to have Wilson work their magic on an intake, so IMO you're giving the 240 heads an unfair advantage that will close the gap b/t the 2 heads.


Out of the box intakes stink, I've already proven that to myself multiple times with the 240 heads. The Victor 383 sucked, the Mopar M1 sucked, The Trick Flow intake didn't completely suck but it wasn't very good until Hughes did the deep port match. The Wilson modified M1 is the best low deck intake I have so that is my starting point. I expect the Indy intake to be fairly poor but we'll find out shortly.
