FE stroker: single plane or dual plane intake

It appears that the plenum divider is not complete, because of two large holes (1.5" X 4") are cast into the divider. "The large holes essentially turn the plenum of this manifold into a single space, rather than a split plenum..." And "large plenums have been associated with loss of midrange."

Somehow I didn't see the part about you having a Performer RPM and a Weiand....

I'd use the Performer RPM. Sweet intake. I just made 575hp and 630 lb-ft of torque with one on a 482.

Thanks to ALL of you who replied in this thread!

From my most recent post;

RodKnock, thanks for referencing your book for me, that helps!

blykins......Brent, isn't it? Thanks for the clarification, I'll use the RPM. Now all I need is a 482 or 496 to put it on. I'm still chasing a lead on a 427 block, otherwise I'll be building a 445 FE.

Thanks to all,

Have a great 4th!!
