AR397 is the MW version of the batwing. AR392 is the std port version of the batwing.

How did I not know about these? I just wasted a 1214 swapping an intake.


Not a very popular part since the low port MW stuff isn't super popular. Almost all MW heads these days are raised port with extended runners. With the extended runners the head seals directly to the valley plate. But with a stock location MW head you need some sort of way to seal to the valley plate in order to run a single plane. I don't sell very many of the AR397 so it kind of gets lost in the shuffle.
