Any difference between the Holley and the Weiand?
 

Is there any difference between the Holley intake and the Weiand Stealth intake? I've seen the Weiand in the Summit catalog and it sure looks like the Holley. And is the $579.95 for the Weiand intake about as good a price as I can get? Anybody know where I can get a deal on the Holley/Weiand intake.

Well Holley owns Weiand, so the intakes are probably pretty darn close if not exact except for the names on them...

If you find it in Summit or Jeg's then its pretty hard to beat there prices... they are kind of the industry standard for low prices...

I would say they are the same thing. It/they are expensive. Look through all the mag ads, I think ive seen the holley for as low as $550?

Are u sure you want the holley? I believe the ports are huge and dont match up to any aftermarket head without porting the head, although I guess it works damn good without gasket matching anyway, from what Ive heard.

I was in the same dilema, and decided on a performer rpm. Better looking, lighter, easier install, smaller ports for proper head alignment, removable cover, cheaper, etc...

What people don't realize is they might advertise for $550 but shipping is probaly around $20+ from them. Summit has GREAT prices and you can 2 day it guaranteed for like $6.95, you can't beat that.

I read an intake shootout not too long ago, and it seemed like the Holley/Weiand intake kicked major butt. If I'm not mistaken, it read the highest numbers between it, the gt-40, trickflow, cobra, and edelbrock. Seems like they mentioned something about the size of the ports too....like how they were shaped or how big they were. Can't remember, but they had alot of good things to say about it though.

The holleys a great intake, but it not the best choice for everyone. Do you remember where you read the intake shootout at? I would like to see it.

They are the same intake.

The intake shootout was in a rag a few months back. I'm not sure which one.

just my luck, i let my subscriptions run out, and they finally print something good....:(

It was a shootout between the TFS-R, Holley Systemax, and Edelbrock Victor 5.0 with a GT-40 as a baseline. The motor was a 11.5 CR Coast 347 using a Comp Cams Extreme Energy 292H solid roller cam (254/260@0.050 and .621/.627 lift with a 110 lobe center). The throttle body was 75-mm. The heads were milled AFR 185's for the 11.5 CR on 10.5 CR pistons. It utilized 36lb injectors, a Pro-M 77mm mass air meter, MSD ignition, an electric water pump, and 1-3/4 full length Hooker headers.

It's a very hot street motor with the compression and solid roller cam but the Holley boxstock was the best all around intake on this particular combination. For a 302-310 motor, it's good for 7000 rpm unported without the torque losses of the Victor 5.0 or even the TFS-R. It's definitely not the best intake for an unported head street motor. But for a hot cammed, ported head, 6500 rpm street/strip car, it kicks butt. The full article was in the January 2001 edition of MM&FF.

thanks,
good info. That was a few months ago all-right, quite a few.

If the holley intake rules so much, why in the world dont they make a 351 base?

intake shoot out
 

it was in5.0 mustang &superfords displayed till 08/21/01
baseline = 422.1 tor 357.4hp
performer5.0 =432tor 409hp
rpm=430 419hp
trick flow street433 404hp
track heat 431 418hp
r trick 417 423hp
holley 431 433hp
then they put a 3inch pipe on the holley and it did 438 tor & 446 hp they used 30 injs on all the intakes



i have a holley and love it its worth every penny. hope this helps

thats funny, i had a subscription to that mag at that time, but I dont remember that article. thanks

I believe it was Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords. They tested them on a CHP 347 with like 10:1 compression. Im not sure what month it was... maybe last October? Not sure.

Later

it was in 5.0 mustangs and fastfords
 

here is the page

Is that "baseline" manifold the gt40? If so, the edelbrock performer blows it away. I thought those two manifolds were supposed to be very close?

intake
 

no it was not a gt40 it was a unbalanced performer5.0 after the baseline they use a balanced intake each runner was within 1 percent on all the other intakes

So the intakes were not "box stock", but ported and balanced?
