Hey all!!

I'm trying to decide what aftermarket intake to buy. I'd like to get something that will reasonably adapt to what I have now, but also use on a 383 later on.

My engine setup is in my sig. I do plan on getting a Hooker catback exhaust also. The powerband for the cam I have starts at 2500 rpm's I think. Any suggestions from you gearheads appreciated!!!!

 

BTW...I'm not too concerned about egr either........

 

Try a Weiand X-celerator 7546 or 7547 for low rise

 

Weiand Stealth idle-6800 rpms $110 in Jegs.

 

out of curiosity, is there an intake like the weiand stealth that does have EGR??

 

Will the stealth work with the quadrajet?

You can make it have EGR. not very hard, from what I've heard.

 

There is also a Weiand Action Packer intake with EGR I noticed. Check that to see if it'll suit your needs.

 

I was considering getting a Weiand X-celerator, but I see no provisions for my vacuum tower on the front of my intake. I like the 1500-6500 range it has, and since it's a single plane, I would think it would respond well when I wind it out, wouldn't you think??

Or does the other Weiand Stealth has more provisions drilled into it?? I can't tell by the pics. I know someone on this board has to have one of these intakes. Thanks for the replies....keep em com'in!!!

 

Also......I'd reeeaaaly like to keep the CCC Q-Jet for now.

 

yea, this seems like a nice manifold.....

 

Where is this "Action Packer " intake you speak of????

I know Summit doesn't list it...

 

actually, thats where i found it. under air & fuel delivery, then intake maifolds, weiand, the action plus...

I have the Weiand Action Plus intake and it seems to be pretty good. Slightly less rpm range than the Stealth. I believe you can get it with or without egr and your cc quad will bolt right to it.

 

You threw me for a loop with the Action Packer thing. I thought maybe you guys were trying to make a crack on the fact that I'm in Green Bay Packer territory!!

Yea, I've looked at the Action Plus, but it seems to be one of the milder intakes, but I don't know for sure. I like the fact that my Q-jet will bolt right up though.

The reason I was looking at the accelerator so hard was because of the RPM range (1500-6800), which appears to be a better match with my cam. Do you think??

Anyways, that may be a moot point if my Q-jet won't bolt up to it, along with other connections. Anyone else???

 

LOL ... sorry ... packer/plus - a little foggy in the noggin this week.

 

I have an Action Plus on my 305 L69. I have an edelcrap 600 carb, a Comp Cams XE 262 cam, roller rockers and other junk..blah blah blah, anyhow, I am very pleased with the intake. I'd buy it again anyday.

One thing I noticed is that if I went with a larger intake, even a little bigger I would have to have such a small filter that I would lose power b/c it would be too constricted.

I'd suggest it anyday. I can't say over the Stealth or not, but I rev to 6,000 rpm easily, no problems at all.

Besides, it's a big "YAWN" to open a hood and see all Edelcrap in there. Although, I have to laugh at myself, I have edelcrap carb and valve covers...............but only because I had little money at the time and they were the cheapest I had available at the time.

 

That's good info....

Good point. I'd like to keep the duel snorkle on mine. I plan to buy a 2 1/4 inch cowl hood in the near future, but not really for clearance issues- just cause I like how it looks.

Still using the computer myself. Not a big fan of Edelbrock carbs though. I had a performer years ago on my 72 Charger, and I couldn't tune it right to save my a**.
But I hear many people like them here. Glad to hear you like the intake. We have somewhat simular setups - but could you tell me if it has enough vacuum ports, like for the tower up near the T-stadt housing?
BTW.....first it was the Packer thing, and now the blah,blah thing like in my sig?? Or am I just paronoid?

 

yup they are picking on you because you have a ford in your sig. j/k
