Looks like mine's just a hack job that someone pawned off as the real deal. Here's a pic that shows how both plenums are totally hogged out. I recently bought one from John Arruzza, to go w/ a larger cam (solid flat tappet) & 750 eddys, but am worried that I'll loose a lot of low end & mid range. A Stage 5 intake will make a lot more power & torque, but will loose the stock look. I'm also concerned about the correct height for my Shaker.
Sounds like you paid more for it because someone CLAIMED it was an original race piece , unless you have an original RO/WO car that you are restoring that would make little sense , but it's your money , I'm not here judging you .

I was looking for performance parts for a hemi I was building that would keep the stock look & was told the Vanke intake would be the ticket. But being a novice & trusting a "friend's" advice, I bought it. Too bad I bought it when Mopar cars & parts (especially Hemi), were at their zenith.
I wanted to compare it to the repop I bought from Arruzza & see which one would perform the best.
Here's a pic of the numbers.

fastmark sent me his pics , I'll get them up later .
I also have a vanke modded intake at home , never noticed the internal added dams , I'll have to check it out .
opening the plenum does kill the bottom end torque , done to help on the launch and give more plenum volume for the top end , not a good idea I would think for a street car .
Trigger , you mentioned the stage 5 intake , there is available a shaker baseplate to use that intake , incase you didn't realize that .

I know they make a Shaker baseplate, but the Stage 5 doesn't look stock. The Shaker pretty much hides the carbs & most of the intake, so it may be an option. I could modify my baseplate to fit the larger eddys, so that would save some $$.
I've got a Dana w/ 3.73's & a 4 spd & a decent lift solid lifter cam, so a little higher powerband might be ok. THe Chally's over 4K lbs w/ the hemi, so need all the torque the hemi will give. I noticed the welded in dams on the vanke photo & my Arruzza repop doesn't have that feature. Maybe I should weld it in? I only plan on spinning the motor to 6500, so do you think the Vanke mod is a good idea?

You have to open up the holes , spread them as the carbs are further apart , AND make the base a drop base because the intake is taller .
When the shaker is on no one can see the intake , plus it's worth 50HP .

Thanks for the photo. It shows the welded in dam clearly. Is its purpose to equalize the distance air has to flow, to compensate for the unequal length runners? Does it add low end torque? I'm about to go w/the Stage 5 intake & eddy 750's & sell the "vanke" repop that John made. Shoot, if I sell it w/ the original 69 hemi carbs, that'd pay for the cam swap & Stage 5 setup, too.
