Congratulations!

HEEE HEE !
If only I could use it myself .... No Super Stock in my future !

Hey, if true hot rodding is going it alone, with no money... I've got that all wrapped up !

Take what Goldman says with a grain of salt, he's a little weird. Couldn't resist!

Jeff Lee · 05-01-2013, 02:26 PM

That's cool as heck! But how did it compare to the Edelbrock intake?

Aubrey N Bruneau · 05-01-2013, 02:59 PM

Jeff... You didn't watch the video ? !

Here are the basic numbers:

Stock intake ( dotted line ..... )
torque 438.5 @ 3500 RPM
horsepower 389.9 @ 5400 RPM ( 387.7 @ 5300, 387.6 @ 5500, 385.6 @ 5600, 383.4 @ 5700 )

Performer RPM intake ( broken line _ _ _ _ _ )
torque 448.7 @ 4200 RPM
horsepower 424.8 @ 5700 RPM ( 422.9 @ 5500, 424.3 @ 5600, 424.5 @ 5800, 423.9 @ 5900, 423.0 @ 6000, 421.8 @ 6100 )

Speed-Port 6000 intake ( solid line _______ )
torque 466.6 @ 4200 RPM
horsepower 465.8 @ 5800 RPM ( 464.8 @ 5600, 465.4 @ 5700, 465.7 5900, 465.7 @ 6000, 464.9 @ 6100, 464.4 @ 6200, 464.0 @ 6300 )

My sinlge plane intake held an AVERAGE HP of 412.... 37 AVERAGE HP more than Edelbrock.
Torque was an AVERAGE of about 18 ft lb more.

The amazing thing was 76 horsepower more than a stock intake.
Holy $&#%, is the stock intake a piece of crap !

Thanks Lee ! ..I take great pride in my wierdness.

Jeff Lee · 05-01-2013, 05:00 PM

No, didn't watch the video. That aside, that's pretty dang impressive! About now I'll bet Edelbrock is saying they should make one so sell as many as you can and recoup your investment. And I'm really curious about that, how much $ do you have invested (aside from probably countless hours)?

I was looking at adapting a SBC or Mopar B Victor type intake to my AMC when I was pursuing Super Stock. I don't see that happening. I spoke to Edelbrock and I was left with the impression they would build one but that's been two years now so I guess they don't have a real interest in the project.

Now that you have a killer intake, turn that 409 into a SS!

Aubrey N Bruneau · 05-01-2013, 05:50 PM

Thank YOU, Jeff... at least now, you might have a better understanding as to why I don't have enough money to make my Stocker better !
Super Stock ?
Oh yes, it occurred to me. Just can't though. Rust free, original pint, inner and outer wheel wells... no WAY would I cut them ! Even if I got it to work on the 9" tire, I still would have to change rear end.
naaah. gotta get that out of my head

I need to sell about 120 of them, and donate my 300 hours of machining... in order to get to the "break even" point.

If I can get a couple dozen in the hands of prominent builders, racers and rodders... I think I'll be OK ( as long as the large port works as well ).
So far, I do have THE two major W block builders buying one right now, and wanting to sell them.
It'll never be a money making venture.
