He' sixgunrunner68 .
How much the intake did I don't know.
Have altered not only intake but also exhaust.
But do know I have now 170hp more at 35mp/h than with STR 14-6 intake.

Good news is that with STR intake the outboard jets where #100.
Now the are reduced to #90 and have more top HP and 30% more HP on range below 90mp/h.

But during dyno sessions the Holley redpump almost died .
Went from 7psi to 1.5psi .
Was not a happy hometrip.
But made it.

Great news Dutch. It must be satisfying to know that the investment did what you wanted it to do! :thumbsup:

Hi Roadcuda.

Well ? actualy not. Was hoping for the 600 mark.
But the aditional 170hp in the lower rpm range is a nice enough bonus.

Will find a nice lonely road to make some stopwatch tests . Just to get an idea.

Yeh' thats right George.

I am very happy with it .
The Mod Man is a good intake for my car.

Anyone else have plans for this intake? (4bbl/6bbl/8bbl)

So . Finally got all the gremlins out of my car.
During winter changed alot of things and run into some issues.
Changed exhaust to 3"TTI . No problem.
Changed to Indy Modman intake. No Problem.
Changed to electronic waterpump.Mucho problems. Solutions : put old crankdrive back ( clearance between impeller and housing not upto suppliers specs.

Changed to electronic fuelpump(holley red) . Big problems with pressure loss.
After checking everything from inside tank , volts , grounds , filters , heat from exhaust to pump but could not find cause.
Untill I was told that fuelfilled gauges will give false reading is they get hotter(20fahrenheit).
Put ice on gauge when pump was on and pressure on gauge was 0 . And !! after 2 minutes cooling it went back to 7.5psi .

O. yes . Now have a extra redpump wich will collect dust on shelf.

3,5 weeks to go and then I will make a roadtrip from Rotterdam to Hemiswil(Switserlands) , is 1900km round trip.
Sure hope they solve the issue in Lybia before that.
