So if you have an as cast Indy 400-3 and you are making around 750 hp, sending that intake to Wilson for porting should be worth 25 or 30 hp.


Andy when Wilson ported the Indy intake did they leave the clover leaf or change it to square flange?

Witch magazine is this article in? Thanks for passing your tech to us!
