Summit has the Trick Flow intake manifold available to order with a ship date of 2/29

Not sure what that means but at least the part number is now showing up. There is also a low deck intake with the same ship date. I'm going to order one just to see what happens.

I will be waiting for the results before I make my decision on which one I am going to use, engine won't go in the car till next winter anyway.

Sure looks like an Eddy Victor.

I was waiting for someone else to say it. Could you imagine the bashing that would be going on if that was made in China?

The TF appears to have a nicer plenum out of the box.

In my mind the pad/roof needs LOTS of work like most of em..........

Sounds like they will be shipping in the near future. I'll get it on the dyno as soon as it shows up.

I wish the TF RB intake was shorter than a Victor, but it looks just as tall.

Why, short intakes equal poopy power and most add spacers anyhow........

It's still gotta fit under the hood with an air cleaner.

Good news, Chrysler had lots of hood scoops to choose from

I thought air cleaners restrict air flow. I have never had a air cleaner on anything I have raced.

Apparently they straighten/slow down air flow...........

Your hood clearance is not what they are concerned about. They are more worried about their intake matching their heads for performance. You want something that sits low, won't make as much power and your hood close.......there are plenty of those already.

not for a '58 plymouth....

Take an E-body Challenger, add a 440 based engine w/ raised-runner heads (Stage VIs w/ RB intake spacers or Victors), use a 14" x 3" drop-base air cleaner and cover the engine bay w/ a T/A replica hood. The amount of room for an intake manifold is limited by the RB block height and the raised-port heads pushing the intake up so much higher than an OEM-type head.

The Victors take up even more room than the Stage VIs w/ RB intake spacers. Whereas I could run an M1 w/ a 1" spacer or a Victor intake w/ no spacers, now I'm limited to an M1 w/ a 1/2" spacer and a Victor won't fit w/ even that low of an air cleaner setup.

So, I make a simple comment re: how the new Trick Flow intake is (unfortunately for my use) taller than I'd like since I can no longer fit a Victor under my scoop either, and the snarky comments and smart-a$$es have to come into the discussion. Thanks.

Enlarge the scoop dude!

I went back to back runs a few years ago with & without air cleaner. Absolutely NO difference. And that's a drop base with a 3" element.

I guess that is the reason Pro Stock runs air cleaners. Maybe they are worried about the weight.

Stop being snarky and smart-a$$ with your suggestions hahaha the skin is thin here! We're Lucky to have so many options available to us, ford guys have like one choice.
