The volume of the runners is much less on the Crosswind--back to back dyno tests on a hyd roller cam street engine it came up almost 25 HP less than edelbrock in a 425HP engine volume is what matters--cross section of the runners is much less than the edelbrock Think of volume like this--intake is a cooler full of beer and 8 guys want plenty--bigger cooler is more beers everyone is happy I did the test on a 383 chevy but when I look the Mopar units seem to have the same disadvantage --smaller cross section and much smaller overall volume USA intake 1 China intake 1/2 it gets a 1/2 point for being so darn cheap I guess LOL
My engine is an enginemasters build. Find it hard to believe they left 25 horsepower on the table over a 200-300 dollar intake. My little motor would have busted 500 ponies at the competition most likely.
If that's true, I would buy the Edelbrock tomorrow.
