Ported Victor W2

Not even the manufacturers can decide on plenum shape.

Earlier this year I built a 440. The owner had a collection of intakes: T1, T2, Victor, M1 4500. Out of curiosity, we measured the width, ht, & depth to get an idea of the plenum volume. Here are the numbers in the above order: 535cc, 1260cc, 885cc, 1332cc.
You would expect a 7000+rpm intake like the Victor to have a large plenum; however it is 2/3 the volume of the lower rpm T2. Another thing to notice is the T2 plenum is more than twice the volume of the T1, yet both are 2500-6500 rpm intakes.
It would seem the thinking at Edel went backwards & forwards over the years on plenum vol.

Or maybe (in actual fact) the plenum volume of each intake was developed for the particular application the manifold was being designed for. Maybe they aren’t as stupid as you think they are. Plenum volume can’t be sorted out on a dyno (there is one exception to that rule) and needs to be worked out in the car.
