Tom - you are correct. Due to height restrictions I had to settle for a Performer rpm intake, would have preferred a Vic Jr. This, I suspect, is my limiting factor.
But it makes darn near 500BHP at 5500rpm anyway, with minimum 400lbs ft of torque from 2000rpm up, so I am not too fussed! Great street engine. Love strokers.

Sooo - restating my original point - if I can make near 500bhp on a 408 stroker with deap breathing heads (Vic Jrs) then that there oval air filter seems to be doing a reasonable job, and is not as restricitive as folks may think???

The air filter sits right up into the scoop, poking through the hole in the bonnet.
