Thanks Mike and Dan. I am going to get a single four intake made, and it is in the works right now. I should have the cad drawings in a couple of weeks, and then I can get the tooling made. So with any luck I will have an intake in a couple of months. I hope that Mike can continue with his dual quad intake for the V heads that he is working on. If he can get it done then we should have a good mix for the top end.
Dragncar, As for flow I'm not sure yet. I have not done any models or flow testing yet with my race port design. All that I know for sure is that a 2.400" valve is capable of 500+ cfm. So I'm pretty confident that it should flow in that neighbor hood. As for being better than the Tiger's. I can only speculate at this time, but one can only assume that if the port shape is right and the cfm is higher in the same lift range as the Tiger. Then Yes!! I know some think that the pushrod tube is going to hurt the heads ability to make big numbers. Yet Jerry Steinbeck and Nunzi, and Arnie Beswick were all making way more power than anyone else was using the other heads available at the time. If I'm not mistaken, I believe they were all making around 900 HP normally aspirated, and that was 30 + years ago. If that is indeed true. Think about how long it took before anyone made that kind of horsepower with something other than a RA V head on a traditional Pontiac engine. I don't think that it was until the Wenzler Super Chiefs come along and got sorted out that it happened. Again I might be wrong about that to. I'm going off memory which is getting worse by the day for me LOL. It's hard to believe that bringing back 50 year old technology with a couple of well placed enhancements could possibly raise the bar again. Stay Tuned!!!!
