Edelbrock SP2P...a bad idea or....... - 12/25/08 08:56 PM
simply the wrong application for the 180 degree independent runner concept?
I often wondered how the Single plane independent runner concept would work in a 180 manifold IF only the runners were sized comparable to those of a RACE single plane and the design was applied to a heavy street/race type application....Imagine an SP2P with Max Wedge sized runners and a big tall plenum....combine the high volume of a race single plane with the strong 180 degree pulse phasing of a dual plane.
The concept was to keep high velocities in the independent runners for better VE....the only weakness to them was the port cross sections were made smaller for MPG and ultra low RPM torque and HP peaks than a conventional dual plane.
I often wondered if it was a good theory applied to the wrong (in this case an MPG) mission.
Discuss.....
