Thanks Skip for posting the pictures.

I recall years ago you reported on your Tomahawk intake the front runners were all different sizes and needed a fair amount of grinding and using snap gauges to get them close to be even in size.

A similar situation on my Tomahawk intake. Though close the work done on mine wasn't near as nice as my Bisschop modified Holley Street Dominator intake.
Also years ago Ken Brewer said there was is a very slight hump on the runner floor that could hardly be felt. I don't recall if it was all the runners though. But he did say the flow numbers would increase if it was removed.
But as Paul stated each time a part is copied it changes.

Also as brought up, Ken said the inside design was left up to Dave Bisschop and the prototype was a lot better than the end product he got.
