I don’t agree with that. A street dominator is a great intake for a 383. Hood clearance is good. Need to run a 750 carb on it, just not a 1407 eddy. He also needs to make sure the compression is good, even if it means custom pistons, which last I knew it required if you wanted a sharp setup on a 383.


Street Dominators are great intakes for making power. No doubt, I have been happy with them on 440's.
But with a single plane I'm giving up the rpm range I'm building the engine for. Need long runners for the lower rpm's.


It’s not like other single planes. Low end grunt is there. They work well on a mild 383. Guys who haven’t used them just lump them in with the race stuff. I’ve had them on a 383, 400, and a 440. All street cars with 3.23 gears. Most guys haven’t used one at all and just say “it’s a single plane, can’t do that.”

I want my fair share
