Which maxwedge intake for 500cui stroker?

Hi guys,

i’ve a 72 Barracuda and my goal is a 500cui stroker (base 440 rb) with 500rwhp, in the moment equipped with the 727, means I’d need around 630hp on the dyno. The car should be built for street and will see the strip only a few times.

I decide to take away the 906heads/rpm-intake/770 holley and want to go for maxwedge with
the EZ1-cnc’d/???/850or 950carb.

I’ve two issues:
  • I’m looking for a nicely working mw intake. When looking through some moparmusclemagazin articles I assuming that a dual plane intake would be fine for my goal, because don’t will high rev all the time, where the single plane intakes usually have advantages

1.Edelbrock Performer rpm
The Intake:
Edelbrock #7193
Type:
Aluminum Two-Plane Four-Barrel
Rated rpm Range:
1,500-6,500

Avg. hp 4,000-6,600 rpm:
555.9 hp
Avg. Tq 4,000-6,600 rpm:
:555.4 lb-ft

2.Holley street dominator
Pls note: mmm figured out after the test that this intake has been modified
And is not “out of the box” like the rpm intake
The Intake:
Holley 300-14

572.5 hp
Avg. Tq 4,000-6,600 rpm:
571.1 lb-ft

3 INDY RB

no data

4. MP P4876337 single plane, but if someone recommends this one also to work fine in lower rpm-ranges… why not?

no data

If you'd see another intake should be the way to go... pls let me know!:happy7:




  • hood clearance (if needed will go for drop-base, 2” air-filter). Right now the rallye-hood is installed, and the new combo should fit in there. But I’ve also an eye on the shaker-hood. Would that bring some 1/10 of an “ ?


Would be great if you could give me some ideas about these topics…!
