Guy this is a project dubbed Project XSP1. I though you might be interested in. Its a single plane Victor intake modified to accept our necessary EFI equipment.
I tested this out for the manufacturer, and helped refine it to the point it will be just a simple bolt on unit.
This intake is known in the carb circles to be a killer. So why not make it for our setups as well. Keep in mind the intake is a prototype and I had to do make several changes on it. The final version will be SWEET.
The results were staggering. Gearing was not optimized, too high to take full advatage of the intakes potential, and it still kept up with the SR intake! This should be a great hybrid of both the SuperRam and the Miniram.
Here are the pictures then followed by a writeup pertaining to last weekends testing.

Here are the results
OK guys I am here with the results...they are going to be short and sweet. I am beat, but I know a few of you are anxiuos to see the outcome of the test.
Little background. Today the DA was hovering around 100-300 ft. It was a test and tune and traction was minimal, so that played a huge role in decifering the slips and seeing the gains. Dave Outten (Hooked Up) was also there. He too was having terrible traction problems, typically pulls low 1.3x and today 1.4x...
Onto the comparison: As said it was a Test and tune event, so we got many runs in. Very good for testing out the intake...Fuel pressure changes, shift points etc. After getting it all dialed in, we were able to extract some very good information to gain insight into the performance of the intake as a whole.
Here is a breakdown, compared to a slip from 2 weeks ago, same strip, 600' DA, and previous SR intake.
Delta will be the difference in intervals. ie 60' => 330'
........ Super Ram.....Delta Time.....Single plane.....Delta Time
60'........ 1.523..................................1.544
330 ........4.518............2.995..............4.589. ............3.045
1/8........ 7.043............2.525...............7.115........ .....2.526
MPH........97.04.................................. .97.30
1000........9.242................................. ..9.299.............
1/4........11.113..........4.070................11.1 69...........4.054
MPH........121.41................................. .121.15
So what you see is that the Single Plane intake was nearly dead nuts on with the Super Ram. With a slight loss down low, which was expected and a .02 gain on the big end. In the end it came out nearly a dead even wash. Which for prospective intake buyers this proves to be a valid option. I was VERY suprised to feel the car when I would shift into second gear, break the tires loose! So its definately feels as if its making more power.
Not real sure what the outcome would be on a smaller motor. Sure some future tests could clarify that. On some motors like ours what have a great deal of DA readings to compare to for accurate measuring.
What suprised Cork, Dad, Dave, and I was the fact my shift point was moved from 5200RPM to 6300RPM! So there is no doubt in my mind that more gears would really wake this baby up, and really make it gain on the big end, since I am only going through the traps at about 4750 RPM.
All in all, Corky and I have talked about the intake in much detail over the phone for the last few weeks. It did exactly what we expected and wanted out of it for our/my future plans and we are very pleased with the results we see.......Oh yeah did I mention I am building a new motor? ;) I know where there will be an AWESOME shortblock available...serious inquiries only please :D :smash: :thumbs:
Let me know what you guys think of the results! :cheers: Great Job Jeb above ~4500 RPM the intake pulls like a MOFO! :thumbs: :party:

Thought that some of you might be inerested in seeing the tests. Hope it help some of you out!
Let me know what you think!
