Thanks for the reply Josh. Yes, I had read that on SDS's website...that's why I figured if SDS wasn't using MAP sensing for that type of application there must be a reason. But I didn't know about about Electromotive's blend software. Interesting stuff I will try to find out more about. Right now I have the parts to use a Clifford 4500-WH intake (the kind with cast in bungs) and a Ford 4.6 TB, but I find it hard to resist an individual throttle setup. I saw that PP&R out of Austrailia is selling a new tripple Weber intake at a good price. I believe th PP&R is Rayman440 of Moparmarket's company. I emailed him recently to get specs on his tripple Weber manifold, and here's what he had to say:
Quote:
The triple weber intake we make has a tapered runner design from approx 2 1/4' @ the carb end to slightly smaller than port size @ the cylinder head end to accomodate for porting and gasket matching. The runner length is 5 3/4' long. Thanks for your email, I hope this is useful.
The runner length is comparable and even longer than some of the runners on the Clifford intake (the middle runners on the Cliford are about 5" to the plenum), so I do not think low end torque should be a problem with that manifold.
I think I would use the smallest TBs available for that manifold, which seem to be 40mm.
The only things stopping me from going that route are cost, of course, and the possibility that it'll never run right. Personally, I don't mind having a car that I have to tinker with if it is not my daily driver...that is a most of the fun of it for me.
