I thought I heard that somewhere. btw, im 99% sure both intakes have the larger ports. thanks! 1971 Plymouth Duster 340 auto 1937 Plymouth PT50 1969 Dodge Dart Swinger 340 4 speed 2013 Ram laramie 2500 hemi 2008 Harley FLSTSB springer

The LD340 is far above the stock or the Performer intakes. No comparison. They are by far closer to the the Airgap and RPM than to the stock or Performer intake if you want to compare them to something.

I though maybe there were some aluminum intakes that were acceptable. thanks! -kevin 1971 Plymouth Duster 340 auto 1937 Plymouth PT50 1969 Dodge Dart Swinger 340 4 speed 2013 Ram laramie 2500 hemi 2008 Harley FLSTSB springer
