Best Intake for a 408

Rumble,

My cam is currently spec’d out as a 248/252 @ .050”, .410” lobe solid roller. Max rpms will be in the 6200 range.

I looked at the Super Victor and assumed that it was too much (maybe too tall) for a street ride. That is why I decided to start working on the two intakes that I had on the shelf. I was also looking at the TF Track Heat but since the deliveries are unknown and I also thought that it might be a little too big. So, I thought that the X-celerator (gasket matched) might be the first one to try. The pictures that I posted above are the X-celerator before I got started. I was surprised by how much aluminum came out of that intake to clean up the areas shown in the pictures.



I don’t want to take away from this thread, but once I get my block back from the machine shop jail, I will start a new thread on a couple of items that I have not tied down.



Thank you!
I was told the Super Victor and the 850 DP carb would be sluggish on the street. I assure you it is anything but sluggish! It is highly responsive and lays your ears back mighty quickly. What I cannot say is whether it is better or worse than the Air-Gap. But honestly, with how it runs now, I'm not much inclined to make a swap to find out. (Well, ok, nothing occurs now anyway...it's wintertime!!)
