Dyno'd the Magnum.
have you done any of what you said? Highly doubtful.
And what are you basing
that on? I've been posting on here for a while about my experiences with these intakes. Read on.
Is there a link to the moparmuscle article in the link you posted? I couldn't find it, or anything else you reference. Where's the 318 car that runs 11s? The only reference in that thread to a dyno comparo says the real Edelbrock made 12 more hp and 8 ft lbs more torque.
If you've got an actual link to a dyno comparison, I'd love to see it.
Are you talking about the 318 MRL took to Engine Masters? With the way that turned out, I wouldn't do any bragging on it.
Here's the deal: Certain Vendors LOVE the Chinese intake...
Do you think its because there's a lot more markup to be made on it than on the edelbrock? With the Eddy a vendor can make maybe $20 and be around summit's price. With the Chinese deal, its more like $75.00.
I checked the ports on my Air Gaps (and FYI I've had both the Magnum and the LA version), using the method I outlined above, and neither one of them was off by a c hair.
Whereas the Chinese deal...
Both photos are from the same side of the intake. Keep in mind this gasket was balls on with the intake ports on the head.
You would have to port the damn head to match up to the ports on this intake. The openings are right into the divider between the head ports.
You keep that POS intake and lets race for money.
