I am at the final stages of my engine build and it is now time to pick my Intake and carb setup. I am leaning toward the Indy Mod Man Six Pack setup. I have no experience with these so I need some advice. I have read mixed reviews so I need to know if the cool factor of having a six pack under the hood is worth it and also want to make sure that they live up to their legend of being great performers. This is a magnum motor 360. Build list is as follows:

408
Block was honed with Torque Plates
Align Honed
Square Deck
Scat Forged Crank
Scat Forged I Beam Rods
AutoTec Forged pistons
Eddie Heads fully ported
2.08 Ferrea Competition Plus intake valves 5/16'' stem
1.60 Ferrea Competition Plus exhaust valves 5/16'' stem
C.H.E. Precision valve guides
T&D shaft mount roller rockers 1.6
Crower Lifters
Innovators West Damper
Moroso Oil Pan

I usually like them on a stock looking or near stock looking engine/car. If that was my motor i would want every bit of hp out of it, so a big single 4bbl or possibly a duel 4 bbl for WOW!!

Dual 4's are more impressive than 3-2's in my book.

I bought my setup Johnny Cash style from my favorite dealer. (I get a good discount). When I was ready I bolted everything together and installed it on my warm 340 in my shorty.

I set the floats, adjusted the idle mixture and idle RPM and havnt touched it in 12 years.

but then if your the tinkeritis type of guy that cant leave well enough alone what can I say...

That's a hard question to answer, since we're talking about your personal taste and desire just as much as performance.

The main selling point with the 6 pack is the CFM. This was a big deal back in the day, because the tuning headaches of dual quads was well known even then. Running on a single set of 2 barrels, in the center, with one idle circuit is great. Although I would argue if that your desire, a thermoquad would give a similar result. and everyone loves the sound. especially the 1000cfm competition series.

I own a reproduction small block 6 pack setup, and I have never used it, and I admit I am hard-pressed to imagine a scenario in which I will. They run great, offer plenty of CFM, and reasonable part-throttle features, but it's just not the only game in town.

You can have equal or better performance with either one or two 4 barrels, so that's why I say it comes back to what you really want. If you really want a 6 bbl, then get one. You can make plenty of power with one, and the wow-factor is certainly there.

I will say this, the high-rise 6 bbl aluminum intake is a very nice piece. But don't forget that factory style manifolds will be dual-plane, they are not made for extreme RPM. I don't know what you're trying to spin your setup to, but keep that in mind.

I gues that if you like a challenge in tune of the carbs you will love the 6 Pack set up ! I use it on a pretty snappy 505 stroker and will never swap it for any money I do not know how the Indy intake works but the stock Edelbrock are great !

Thanks for the input guys. I think that I will defiantly go with the Indy Mod Man intake. I just need to decide how many carbs I want on top of it. This is a tough one.

they're ugly, over rated and make very little power. i just hate them!.....

That is what I am leaning toward. I do like being the odd duck most of the time. Everybody has a 4 barrel setup. Not many have the 6 pack.

You will not regret the ugly 3x2bbl

Yea what a nightmare they are.

haven't tried these yet but should be a simple, easy to tune alternative to a 6bbl.

Got both,depends on the application.

6 pack!!! I have both in the barn, the six pack was easier to tune than my double 4's. The 3 2's have enormous power on my 440's. Personal preferance though..

You didn't say what cam you have or tranny & gears. The Mod Man's
a short runner single plane & the MP intake is a dual plane, which
may better for your application. Post the cam, trans & gear specs &
you'll probably get more detailed advice.

I am planning on putting this motor in a 70 or 71 Challenger or a Demon. I hope to find one with a 4 speed.
