AIR GAP INTAKE WORTH THE MONEY?

If you threw an LD340 into the mix how would you stack all
Three top to bottom.

Behind the RPM, above the Stealth, the margin between them would be very thin, IMO. The thing with the RPM is the path on which the air and fuel travel being a much nicer route even though the total cfm isn’t as great as one would think.

The LD-340, the Stealth (& the Action Plus) are old school designs not really super well improved on over a stock intake design. While the LD-340 flows a bunch more cfm in air, the path it takes isn’t as nice as a RPM. Same goes for the Stealth and Action plus. Which are (IMO) very good intakes.

Thanks but I’m thinking Loco may have some track testing

Yes. He also ran a large (IIRC) TQ carb. He contacted me on the subject but I have not heard or read anything by @Locomotion on how it all turned out.

There is a noted engine builder who is a member here. He stated that the Professional Products/Speedmaster dual bolt pattern Magnum/LA intake intake produced 25 horsepower LESS than the Edelbrock Air Gap.
it's all in the in the correct combination of parts

As the power level goes up the difference becomes larger.
Even though some people here live to praise that intake and how bad was it is, it’s not.
