I'm still daydreaming about dropping a long ram intake setup on the Imperial. The 440 is being built with an eye on low to mid range torque and largely ignoring anything above 4500 rpm.

Have there been any direct comparison tests between the old long ram (30" divider) intakes and the modern intakes like the Performer or even the old Torker?
I know the long tubes would fall flat well before 5,000 rpm but it would be interesting to see the area under the curve at lower rpm.

Hacking one for port EFI would cure the old fuel puddling issue and likely send parts collectors into low earth orbit.

Yeah, for me it's all vapor but I do enjoy a good think about stuff like this.
