Post subject:  Offy vs. Weiand 4bbl
I have an offy and weiand 4bbl intake. I need to sell some parts to get my truck going. I am trying to decide which manifold might be better to use,and I am going to sell the other.

My observations:

The offy has a larger plenum area.
The weiand is slightly taller and the runners are slightly bigger.

Everything seems about the same. I had planned on running the weiand,and selling the offy...but I like the looks of the offy's plenum....I am curious to see if you guys think there might be an advantage to one or the other before I sell one of them.


For my 87 D100 Eddy 500,hooker LT headers,HEI,and 4.56's stock engine otherwise.

I do realize that if there is a diff. it will be very small,and will prob. not be noticeable in my application.

If I had both I would use the Weiand just because there is less of them out there.

That is exactly what swayed my decision. Even if im loosing out on a small% of hp/tq,its worth it for the coolness factor to me.

I can find MANY ways to better spend 500.00. I have already owned a LR Hurricane and I was not impressed. The cliffy outperformed it in every aspect.Plus the old Weiand is wayyyy cooler than the aussie intakes.

Post subject:  Weiand Manifold
raPoM,

I also picked up an old Weiand intake manifold for the SL6. I had it bead blasted and ceramic coated with a clear sealer. It will go on my updated "Torque and Mileage" block. I am hoping that the Weiand runners will provide better mixing and produce better low end torque over a Clifford or Offy.

We will have to compare notes later this summer.
Your truck build verses my car build.

I have only seen one Weiand live and in person, and it was on a race car. Seemed to work fine as far as I could tell. :D

Not seeing much real world love for the Hurricane stuff. :shock:

My(hurricane) manifold had some pretty major core shift going on,and after replacing my clifford with it and spending a few weeks tuning it, I had had enough and sold it to a member here. It just did not seem to live up to the claims that AS makes.The clifford had it beat on low-mid-and top end.... I was very disappointed,especailly after shelling out 500 bux for it :roll:

only used an offy on the street and racing with everything from a 390cfm up to a 750dp cfm, runners are closer in length and bigger plenum + 2" spacer. have no complaints;no comparision either.

It looks like the Hurricane has more equal length runners.

Do the Clifford and Offy have distribution issues like a stock intake?


I would really like to see dyno results.

I sold my Offy because a 2bbl is all I need for now. I want to go turbo on the Duster hopefully EFI.
