What intake is considered the best power maker these days for a 600" conventional head motor?

Dave I have a SV632 Not ported or matched powder coated silver vein. It was too big for my combo. I bought from Raceshop and they had it powder coated for me. $ would like 650. The powder coat cost 150 alone. I doubt I will ever build another motor as I will quit when this one is done.

By all accounts I need an SV632/2897 manifold. People and dynos are saying it’s worth 30-45hp over my Dart manifold....

Anybody have one?

No you need the new Victor Ram with a pair of dominators. Big Grin

Just be careful not to over port that intake.. what heads do you have and how big is your camshaft on it?

Well, I dunno. I am leaning towards buying the jets dave.
Been running the same Dart t-ram for ever, yep like 2002 ish. Each step along the way with engine combination has always produced more power. The intake as new is woefully undersized for anything but a 496. After years of changes, runner sizes, porting, and different combinations ending up with a 600inch mild rpm, 7400, some old Edelbrock/Musi heads, which over time got more valve diameter 2.325 and 92.5 % and throat to valve ratio, made 1120 with 600 inches and a tame 288.306 camshaft. Gotta go with the extra pocket full of jets. And yes, You did help me out along the way, of which I say thank you.

Well, Apparently I built this engine on a tall deck block...It was like 6yrs ago so a lot of things have happened in the last 5yrs or so and I guess I forgot.....getting older doesn't help either...
Anyhow, I've edited my earlier posts with the correct info...basiclly I'm looking for an SV632/2897 now...not a 2896 !!

Anybody? Not dead set against a tunnel ram just more linkage, plumbing ect...But if it was dirt cheap I'd entertain it.....!st choice is the 2897 though..

Ya i would be looking for a used one on the SV632.
Holy balls are the prices up there. I got mine when they hit the market. Like 4 something. Best I'm seeing is 584 on pro shop account.

Just noticed they list 2 different numbers for that manifold.
#1 2897 for appears any head. $584.00.
#2 28972 For EDL cnc head $768.00.
