Brodix Track 1's.. which TPI intake

I saw a company a while back that made a tall port TPI base that will fit the Track 1's, does anybody know who it is?

Thanks,

Mark

You might be talking about the SDPC vortec base, it is taller then the STD base to fit the 1/4 taller Vortec ports. You would have to modify the intake to work with the Track1 heads.

I just talked to someone yesterday about this, he says the Edelbrock base works. The Accel base might work too.

Unless they've changed in the past 2 years, the Edelbrock base will not work. When we mated the Track 1's to the base, the ports on the heads were higher than the actual casting of the intake.

LOL...i can attest to that

if you want to use some kind of TPI intake you are going to have to do a lot of welding and milling to make it fit

i'm running a victor junior converterd to EFI and there is just BARELY enough room to fit the port on my head

nope....not even the stealthram :-p without some welding

The LT1 intake probably not either......you could order the miniram to fit the big port though
