Hello all, I am well on my way to my first turbo build, but I still have some questions, todays is intake manifolds. My build is a blow through carb deal, and it generally is recommended to run a single plane intake. I also hear it recommended that you make the most N/A power possible with your combo before boost, as boost is just a multiplier of power, which makes perfect sense to me.
I ended up picking an M1 single plane for my "B" engine, as I recall it being one of the best single planes for power. Well, thats all well and good, but it's a tall sucker, and the stock hood on my 67 Belvedere just won't work. I have heard other people say the intake on a blow through carb deal is really just a gasket between the turbo and heads, and it's not that important. If that is true, much lower single planes exist I could use, but not at the cost of more than a couple HP to me.
Anyone with experience care to weigh in?
Much appreciated.
