The SD in this particular test had a weak low end compared to any of the dual planes : https://www.hotrod.com/articles/hrdp-0712-mopar-intake-manifold-comparo/


I was going to reference that shoot out too. Like 21 hp less with the SD than the DP4B at 3000 rpm. And average 9 hp less below 4500 rpm. My 383 car was a touch slower with the SD than a Performer on a mild ( high 12s) application. Could feel the difference cruising around town too.. Finally, even on my 500 motor dyno testing 3 intakes, the SD was noticably weaker below 4000 than the two dual planes tested. That surprised me on a 500 in motor.
