I mentioned this in the link I posted. So there is no misunderstanding, the Holley Street Dominator intake, and the testing I mention, in post #20 here was done with an intake modified by Dave Bisschop.
Again, the entrance opening was about 2.300" tall, with some runner blending and plenum work.The Edelbrock cylinder heads in use were about 313 cfm when tested on my engine builder's bench.

Also noted, Skip Fix borrowed this HSD intake from me and dynoed his 455 pump gas motor in the 78 TA with it. Tested it against his ported Torker II intake that he spent a LOT of time grinding way up the runners and using a snap gauge to check width and height. The two intakes produced almost identical dyno numbers.
