    Default Stealthram VS Carb Single Plane EFI Intake

    I looking to build a 383 ci LT1 for my 1995 Caprice 9C1 but I am not a fan of the stock LTx intake manifold. My goal is to get 420 RWHP and over 400 RWTQ. Not sure on what heads to use a pair of Advanced Induction alum stockers or a set of AFR's 195 CC Eliminators or TFS 21* heads.

    I was real sweet on the Holley Stealthram and I have the room for it under the hood. But I learned that it has the same poor air distribution issues as the stock LT1/LT4 intake has. In that especially at part throttle the rear (4) cylinders get straved for air than the front cylinders that are closer to the throttle body.

    Than I got on the Carb Style Single Plane EFI intake bandwagon with a progressive 4 barrel throttle body. Here most guys say don't bother with this setup inless you intend to build a max effort motor in a car that is trailered to the track not in daily driver which my car is.

    Please tell in your opinion what do you think is the best for my application???

    I have had the stealthram on L98 TPI style motors and i really do not see how they were lacking in the delivery dept. i had healthy parts too(cam,heads etc.) SR is an excellent choice!

    The carb intake set up is fine also,i have a few friends with the set up and it works awesome..May be a bit of overkill on some street motors but still effective....

    If you like St. Racing you may be giving up some lengths when you pop the hood and they see your carb intake set up since most appear like 9 sec cars with it!
    Lastly, like any mod done like this you should have someone that can TUNE PROPERLY on either set up...remember there are MANY Lt1 cars running bottom 10s with a ported stock intake on bigger more powerful combos.......
