I'm afraid I will have to invoke the Chuck Rayburn Rules of Discussion. Rule No. 1, If you have no car, you have no vote. Rule No. 2, If the discussion is about a specific car or combo, and you don't race that car or combo, you got no vote.

Give us the numbers, and then we will re-address the weight distribution issue.

amc's are 65# BUT you still have to put something back on, i'll get ya weight on an R4B tomorrow;) my guess is it's about 20-25lbs...no, I don't have a dog in this fight as i'm running in a stick shift bracket deal ...

We have run both back to back in the 90's........No difference in performance
or ET (Weight equalized) at all.

We do run a couple of the cars currently and mine usually has front weight
because I do not like the huge wheel up launches that the my boys enjoy!

Legal or not..... We do not care!

If I've got to race against that specific car or combo and I've got to qualify against that car or combo, you had better believe I got a vote!

I love capitalism.........:) :) :)

Just another douche trying to make a dollar! That intake is worth only half that! Another guy watching too many auctions and tv resto shows.

If this intake isn't worth any et. or mph why did someone bother to have it put in the guide ? Seems fishy to me. Rick.

Agreed. I don't pretend to be an expert on this intake manifold, but what's the point in going through the hassle of getting it approved if there's no advantage?

There's already a lot of very fast 340 cars out there.

Obviously stock has gotten out of hand with all of the aftermarket stuff that's been allowed on many combos (all makes, this isn't a Chevy vs Ford vs Chrysler thing), but in my opinion, there's already some really good competition between cars of all makes in the classes this affects.

Alright...Taking the Nees option on comments.
I was waiting for someone to go there.
We're all big boys here.
Easier to cut apart with a bandsaw..
Easier to weld back together and hide the welds.
But then...someone out there already knows this...
