Tested on a 428CJ w/410 HP and Torque and a 390 Stroker, the Weiand 7282 finished last in Torque and 2nd & 3rd to last on HP covering about 30-50 intake manifolds for those two engines. So it "finished poorly."

It appears that the plenum divider is not complete, because of two large holes (1.5" X 4") are cast into the divider. "The large holes essentially turn the plenum of this manifold into a single space, rather than a split plenum..." And "large plenums have been associated with loss of midrange."
