One more- PB, PCV, VA provisions.
I also ground that ugly ass "Tradewind" & "Kauffman" embossing off the front runners.
I left the three "Made in USA"- but in retrospect I should have disappeared the two on the sides as well.
I'm very supportive of Made in USA- but the one cast on top is sufficient for me.

KRE had a dual 4 bbl top at Norwalk that bolts on the manifold. Don't know if it's available to the public yet though.

I spoke with Jeff Kauffman at Norwalk and they had just dyno'd a 535" that morning and compared the two intakes set up's. The engine was a 535" that had out of the box High Port heads and pretty mild hyd. roller cam. The original style intake was aluminum repop that had been cleaned up and used original carbs. The KRE intake was used with 3 Holley 2 bbl's with no jet changes. The difference between the two was 80 horsepower with the new intake peaking at 680 hp. Pretty impressive increase!

Very Nice Increase in power with the Holley 2-BBL carbs on the KRE Intake.

I had Dave Wilcox port a Barry Grant Pontiac aluminum Tri-Power intake and saw a 50 hp increase on a 462 engine with Holley 500 cfm Carbs.

No surprises on the post above. Thanks Dave W (years ago).
