Ported Victor W2

Bewy said
Not even the manufacturers can decide on plenum shape.

Why should every plenum be the same? How is it they can’t “decide” on what it should be? Is it because they shouldn’t all be the same? I guess you are so smart you should consult with these manufacturers and let them know you have it all figured out.
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.

So they think backward and then forwards and they can’t make up their minds. Got it. All plenums should be the same shape AND the same volume because Bewy says it should be so. Got it. The sad fact is you have no idea what went into developing any of these intake manifolds, nor do you have a clue as to why they did it. Your own post in your own words says Edelbrock thought backwards and then unscrewed themselves. That’s YOUR words you fool. Own what you say, because it’s what you said.
