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!

Wilson has always gotten rid of the clover leaf design on any intake they have ported for me. There are some pictures earlier in this thread but here are some more.

All of my tech articles are on the Hot Rod website. Just go to Hot Rod and then search for 470 or 270 Trick Flow or something like that and you'll find them.
