M1, Victor340, and RPM Air Gap flow testing

Now let’s add the RPM Air Gap to this and this because again I’ve never used this intake I’m taking it is different than the RPM Performer?





-Head—M1 intake—-Vic340–RPM
.100—64——————62—68–66
.200—125—————125–131–131
.300—187—————183–192–188
.350—214—————213–218–211
.400—238—————236–237–227
.450—257—————246–251–241
.500—284—————255–259–250
.550—294—————256–260–254
.600—296—————258–262–251
.650—302—————271–272–254
.700—308—————279–280–250


As you can see the RPM Air Gap totally trashed a good flowing head causing it to get noisy, turbulent, then backing up. A dual plane was never made to work on a head flowing 308 but it shows you the importance of not just grabbing an intake off a flea market table and throwing it on your engine combo. Both of these heads the Victor340 will be tested again after some porting but will be tested hopefully on a different head. Hopefully have this pair of heads finished this week and gone.
I think the rpm intake flow shows why most 400+ ci sb strokers struggle to make over 500 horsepower with the rpm. Its just too small.
