Intake manifold flow
Has anyone ever flowed an Offenhauser 5499? I'm curious how it flows between the edelbrock p65 or even compared to a stock iron manifold.

The only help I can off is to post the flow numbers for the Standard Performer, as my flow test notes on from a iron Intake have gone missing at the moment.
The Perfromer flows a bit less then the iron, but the flow per runner is better in terms of balance.

I have not flowed the 5499 but can tell you it was .3 tenths quicker than the P65 on a 421 I built back in the 90's. Mild combo, 421 .060, 62 heads ported to 260CFM and a Comp 288H Cam. Same 750 carbs etc. Only swap was intake.
