LA to Magnum HP boost.

You go from a pitiful 170 cfm intake port to a 210 cfm intake port and better exhaust port. plus a 1.5 to 1.6 rocker ratio.
The magnum heads, better exh manifolding, the better engine management, and a modern serpentine drive we’re the real gains. The intake was for torque only. A well tuned Magnum 5.2L with an intake, carb, headers, and distributor comes pretty close to a stock 340 power-wise.
With a better compression ratio and a roller cam, etc....
All the little things on top of a better head adding up here!
