Magnumswap mentions smaller runners... smaller enough to make a HP difference? I'm thinking a 5.2 or 5.9 Magnum with Whiplash cam, 670 Holley Street Avenger, Dougs or Super Comp headers (plus VERY good exhaust). Thats getting close to 400HP. Am i going to lose power/potential with the Crosswind?

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. 69 Dart GTS A4 Silver All steel, flat factory hood, 3360race weight 418 BPE factory replacement headed stroker, 565 lift solid cam Best so far, 10.40 @127 1/4 1.41 best 60 foot 6.60 at 103.90 1/8

But the magnum crosswind and magnum airgap are the same size according to several threads on another forum that were lengthy . Maybe there was confusion on that point, not sure. 69 Dart GTS A4 Silver All steel, flat factory hood, 3360race weight 418 BPE factory replacement headed stroker, 565 lift solid cam Best so far, 10.40 @127 1/4 1.41 best 60 foot 6.60 at 103.90 1/8

Well then... reason why i was asking, is that i NEED a swap intake for the Magnum i'm building... and there was a Crosswind advertised locally. I ended up picking it up today for the equivalent ov $110 US! Choke or not... i would have been WEE-TODD-DID to pass that up. Better... its brand new in the box, and with all hardware, hell... even the stickers are still there. I took one look at it, and it looks stout. If the Edelbrock is any bigger, i'd be surprised. Better yet, LA-style water jacket. This thing should RUN.
