Streetmaster to Airgap

My 302's would be lucky to measure 140 cc's in total port volume. GTX Johns would probably be around 125 cc's and they don't have any problem making his 4000 pound station wagon run well into the 11's. He's doing far more with less.........All the more impressive considering he's using 3/8 valves too. Now consider he's limited to a stock cam lift.....Its a miracle that engine even runs its that restricted.

The difference between the port entrance of the Air Gap and the Street Master is HUGE. Yet the Difference in what the engine made at 5600 RPM wasn't. If the engine was airflow starved it would have picked up a lot more power in the swap but it didn't. That tiny port opening wasn't that much of restriction after all.

The O/SA record that was supposedly in the 11's is currently listed at 12.6x on the NHRA websites, so I'm not sure how accurate 11s is. That's also with a stock eliminator prepped car that bears exactly zero semblance to anything anyone drives on the street, other than the tires are rubber.

22hp is a decent difference for ONLY an intake swap on a stock motor. Keep the SM intake, and the engine would not respond to the rest of the mods they did in the same way - right?

Trying to say the intake isn't a big deal by looking at it in isolation is a joke.
