That is the kind of information that helps, and I thank you for it. Having someone tell me how cool my junk is as they are walking over to congratulate the winner is not my idea of a good weekend. This was strictly about finding a competitive advantage, if there isn't one to be had with the Smokey Ram I will just move on. The rules state that I can run any single 4v intake manifold "as manufactured", aluminum or iron. No prototype, tunnel ram, or sheet metal intakes. Seems simple enough, just need to pick out the one that works best.

Again, Thanks for your thoughts.
