Fox builder, I know that the Track heat has shorter runners than the Street heat, but I believe its still considered a long runner intake. A short runner would be a TFSR, or one of the box uppers right?

My Holley is a 1500-6500 intake. Why would you want an intake to make power a idle? My car idles at about grand anway. I dont need the power WAAY down there. I would much rather have an intake that flows much better up top since 2nd 3rd and 4th are all ran up top from 3800-6grand.

The only time I can see needing power near idle is if your launching on street tires and dont want to bring the revs up. But then your worried about spinning anyway and really dont need power at idle.
