 3. Weiand Xcelerator 2V
 4. Edelbrock RPM Air Gap 2V"


$$$$$$$$$    Would you expect that the results would be similar in a non stroked 351C?

Note the Edelbrock Air Gap dual plane was beaten by all of the single plane intakes tested and the single planes worked better across the entire RPM range tested (down to 2500 RPM or so).  However, on a 408C with heads with better flowing intake ports (CHI 4V), the Edelbrock RPM Air Gap 2V performed much better.  Intake flow is poor relative to the exhaust on the iron 2V heads and, once you get into the 400+ HP range, it appears the single plane intakes work better because they are less of restriction to the marginal 2V cylinder head intake flow.

Small port (relative to the displacement) single plane intakes often have good manners on the street, though that depends upon the specific engine combination.
