MOD MAN Indy SB Intake

I think they look great and I want one but

I don't want to give up 30hp by using it instead of the W-2 Victor Jr or something like that.

if they are close in numbers I will go for it !

The Mod Man looks cool, but.........

Watched a small block dyno swap from Edelbrock single plane to the Indy Mod Man and witnessed a considerable power loss with the Mod Man.

Don't remember the exact horsepower numbers, but many watching had predicted the loss just by looking at the manifold, we were correct.

It just kinda reminded me of the old Weiand 6-2bbl DragStar manifolds from the 1950's for the big blocks.

Sure looks like WAY too much plenum and NOT nearly enough runner length combined with too much CSA. Might work good with positive manifold pressure.though. J.Rob

my experience is only with the big block version so it can only be seen in that context .
After use - dyno and track time . Plenum is too big for optimum in stock cubes,i run a stock stroke 440 .
Made the same peak power as my M1 single plane but had to jet very rich due to what appeared to be poor signal . This led to very slow 60' at the track though on the street was not apparent .I did add an insert after this , about 10% volume reduction , this helped a little plus fitted 1" 4 hole spacers this also helped . I have since fitted better flowing heads which should see an improvement , will try again at the end of the year . I know a guy on here has run a small block six pack but if I remember he also found he needed 2" 2 hole spacers which helped in power improvements .
