Default Re: been a long time.... need some advice on building a low rpm 5.0

Andy's right, I was having a brain fart. As a "general rule" dual plane intakes build power down low, whereas the single plane intakes need the RPM and high flow to make power.

Stick with parts that fit in your RPM range, fuelie motors are also known for low end stump pulling torque, but there's the added cost for all the electronics. Just keep this in mind. Don't "throw" parts together cuz it sounds good, or you like the name. You have to build a "Matched set", and you will be pleasently rewarded. Carb has to work with the intake has to work with the cam has to work with the heads has to work with the headers, etc etc.

You''l do just fine!
