Sheetmetal Intake vs.Tunnelram - 06/15/13 12:49 AM
Is the cost of a Hogan Sheetmetal Intake worth it over buying lets say a Indy Tunnelram Intake.
What do you think the gains would be with a high dollar Hogan Sheetmetal intake vs. lets say a Indy cast aluminum tunnelram intake?
This will be going on a hemi with MP aluminum heads.

Sheet Metal intake, their only benefit is they are built to suit your particular engine. If the cast Tunnel ram was an exact match to your combination, the sheet metal intake would show no benefit.

The oldest TR were made too big on purpose - easier to install a stuffer than to add another gaskets and screws, change linkage, fuel lines, scoop position, throttle cable...

I used the Indy tunnel-ram on mine with $350.00 worth of porting work done on it,and that might be the Best Bang for the $$$ also for you!

Weight and WOW factor are the main advantages and it is cheaper to build one off tunnel rams then cast them.
Also as stated earlier if built by some of the better intake builders.
they will build it to your engine spec and the rpm you want to run.
