Ken/Dave,
Any updates on release dates for the new manifold?
I just pulled my tripower off (puts paper bag over face to hide ) to experiment with a Performer/4150 combination and my car really seems to like it . With my combo I think it would be even better with an RPM or even a Warrior and your proposed design sounds like the best of both. I was going to look for an RPM on Ebay but will hold out for yours if it won't turn out to be as long a wait as the aluminum tripower .

There are very few Tri-powered engines out there that run faster than a 4 bbl setup. A 4 bbl carb will in almost every case be faster and run better. Tri-powers should only be used as restoration point getters only and not for performance.

I happen to know a guy that has runs 10.20s at 127-128mph with a tri-power. I dont think that they should only be used for restoration.

bussness sound .

Depends on what the setup is whether a tripower makes sense, For a race motor a Victor/ Dominater is hard to beat. For a 12 second street/strip car(Tim??) a Tripower is perfect. Cruising off the center 2 barrel it can get decent mileage also. Tim, don't give up on the Tripower, there are not a lot of us left! I have run a performer/QJ. If you are seious I would look at a RPM/QJ with 1" spacer(primaries divided/secondary open). Goodluck-JimT

Ken and I are hopeful of having the intake by the holidays. Getting everyone and everything together on the same page is easier than it sounds...but we will get it done, and done right!

Now, if we could just get the 74 SD-455 casting numbers on the manifold I would buy one the first day. I suppose that is asking too much.

As far as the name goes.... Arrowhead!!!!!

I'm thinking of "Rat Killer'' as a good name
To my knowledge Tigers and Birds eat rats all day

Pacific Performance Racing is in the process of putting up an entirely new website that will provide an online store.

There will also be a section on new products and the manifold. People will be able to sign in to be advised on the release of the product.

Ken and I were at the supplier/vendor just the other day. The supplier's high hope is 5-6 months. As soon as we get a "first article" sample everyone will know...

Mr. Kennedy,

I have followed your racing for several years now.

I had a double rear runner Torquer 1 created like yours some years
ago.

I was wondering if you could post your results with that "created"
intake. Thanks in advance.

By the way, Boys and Girls, I received a note that said that the OFFICIAL NAME will be:

TOMAHAWK!

I wonder who suggested that fine name! LOL!
Guys from the PY Board!
