RPM AIR-GAP DUAL-QUAD
OVAL PORT (1500-6000 rpm)
RECTANGULAR PORT (1500-6000 rpm)
Designed for street 396-502 c.i.d. Chevy V8s. These intakes stand 7/8" taller than the low-profile C-66-R/O dual-quad intake and offer performance improvements in the 1500-6500 rpm range. The large runners feature our unique Air-Gap design that separates the runners from the hot engine valley for a cooler, denser charge. In dyno tests on a ZZ 502 with intake #7522, heads #77489 and #2261 hydraulic roller camshaft, we made 602 hp, 15 hp more than the Performer RPM manifold #7163. Oval-port intake is also available as a complete manifold and carb kit, see Manifold & Carb Kits for more information.
