For the record; John Dickey made a perfectly streetable 4500 for Mtichell. May still do that. And every dyno combination we did picked up 12 to 18HP when switched to a 4500. For testing purposes, that was with that crappy Ede adapter on the same intake as an AED 850. A bespoke 4500 intake was the best.
So he shaves the intake .250-or gets the slightly larger scoop. The pull of a 4500 is exceeded only by the 'wow'.
And at 487, there's plenty of displacement for 1050. We ran them on 427's and 460's.
