P51 dual carb intake choices

psfracer on December 9th 2011, 11:11 am

Are there any decent intakes for P51 heads, dual 4500 pattern that make good power, or do I have to consider a custom sheet metal intake $$$$. I have a single 4500 TFS manifold which I am very happy with, and don't want to switch or spend the money without making more power. I searched threads and found some, but all were pretty old. I see the intake on the Kaase website but from what I understand it hasn't been available for years, literally. I understand there is the Wieand manifold but I doubt that would make more power then the single TFS mafia intake I have already.

I have to say I have learned a lot on this site, and if I were to do this again I would have went with some ported A460 heads with the TFS tunnel ram intake and made significantly more hp. I am looking at single stage fogger systems right now, but there is a local class that is for all n/a cars that I really like, and my car is basically close to the weight needed when you consider the cid and weight breaks for the combo. Anyway, thats why I am asking.

IMO you would be better off getting the heads worked over, possibly a different cam, and a converter change.......

The cheap cast tunnel ram choices we have need extensive work to make a difference, a sheetmetal would be $$$$$$$

Sheet metal is the only good option IMO, I'm building a Weiand hybrid, but Is probably not the best or easiest method to get a decent TR.

The avaliable Wieand stuff will make more torque than the single 4 stuff...... but not more HP

Now that the season is over, porting the heads is the first thing on my "to do" list.

while the heads are off send the intake you have to Steve J. at Induction Solutions, leave the converter alone.................then hang on.............. Wink

An I.S. fogger would be cheaper than a TR that would be worth a damn, another carb, and a dizzy to make it all fit. Plus fit under the scoop you already have.

That will depend largely upon the size of the engine.
Above 500 cubic inches, NO.
