I am seriously thinking about casting my own intake manifold. What would you guys like to see in such a manifold? I'm thinking a 3rd Gen DragPak style could be useful. What's important for your needs? More cross section? Longer runners? Bigger plenum/Smaller plenum Where does the INDY manifold lack in your opinions? I look forward to your input.

Any changes would have to be directed at a specific application, for example: very large displacement (572) or very small displacement (383) Street use instead of drag race use (targeting 2000-2500 rpm). One nit pick of the low deck Indy intake is the bolt has a hard time clearing the outside of the runner one cylinder on each side. I have ground the outside of that runner to make it easier to get the bolt in.

I'm thinking serious street with displacement anywhere from 450-500", but that's just me.

It would be hard to make a drag pack style intake for them because the way the ports point towards the valley instead of up in the air like a gen III hemi. If you made really tall long runners they would have to make a sharp bend right before/during entering the head. Might work a little better if you had the ports breathing from the bottom of the plenum instead of the sides, sort of like a tunnel ram. Wish I could get the picture in my head to you, bet it would be an awesome intake I am not causing global warming, I am just trying to hold off a impending Ice Age!
