Single plane, small runner, small plenum, very good intake.

Some guys worry about it being single plane, but they were designed for the street.  They work very well, and even better with a little grinding

I would jump all over that! Great price. Its a good intake for a mid FE build. If you dont like it..... You can more then double your money!

That intake did extremely well in my intake testing on engines in the 375-500 horsepower range.  At $75 its a steal...

Anything over 400 HP the intake benefited from a port match to the heads, and also a plenum cleanup.  Takes about an hour with a die grinder to get that done.

OK thanks Jayb . its shorter than the blue thunder in height , may be able to run a 1 inch 4 hole spacer and still use the shaker setup .

^^ Nice! You even beat the CL deal I got on my unmolested Stretmaster by $25.. grats! I was able to get a 1" spacer on mine by using an Edelbrock air cleaner that drops down a tad over the carb. Close.. but no contact with the hood.
