2806301 383 intake...worth upgrading?

Quote:

---

I have a 1969 383 with 10:1 CR, 452 heads, and a 600CFM carb. The bigger summit cam and headers.

Not counting weight..is there any performance to be had with going to a Ebrock RPM or other after market intake? From what i read the stock intake isnt all that bad.

thanks.

Just depends on your intentions.

If you look at the dyno test fast68plymouth did on his 383 the stock intake leaves about 40HP on the table vs. the RPM , no other changes .

It's in the tech archive ...

This is the best I could find , alot got lost on the cutting room floor . I remember 40-50 HP with the intake change but that may have also been with the carb change to the carter 750 because I would have run that exact combo on my motor most of the time ??? , but the chart here is showing almost 26 ??? I read thru this real quick and didn't see that actual test and what Dwayne had to say .

Thanks john.
I read that but it looks like they cut out the intake comparisons and focused on the carbs.

im reluctant to buy stuff that wont swap over to my 440..i guess ill just keep a eye out for a used RPM.

I'm guessing now after reading it all it was the intake carb combo that gained the HP I remember . The big thing is his cam and headers do also make a difference in the grand scheme of things . I have an RPM in my pile o'intakes for a low deck , hopefully I get it on a running engine this year

Hughes Engines does studies on the various Mopar
SB and BB intakes, usually to improve on the
flow characteristics. They seem to be on the right
track with the Eddy RPM for the 383.
