Seems to me like it would work just as well as holleys unit... cept the word "edelbrock" makes me think of the words "porting" and "smoothing"

I like that plenum 10x better then the Tissue box HSR.

Thats the reason I sold my HSR once I actually got it. Didnt like the looks. I think I'm either gona get a miniram for the tt418 or make my own plenum for a HSR base.

Hawk's has/had one of the first prototype TPI units...it looked similar to that....only it had all the raw unfinished welds...it was pretty cool.

heh, i remember reading that in a magazine years and years ago.....

if i recall correctly, the guy (and his wife) fabbed the entire front suspension for the car too.... its suppost to handle great...




anyhoo, that was a custom one off intake he made...... nothing to do with holley. so i wouldnt give holley any credit for that guys work... he did a great job, and ive wanted to do somthing similar to that for years....
