Title: New Summit racing intake
Post by: Katz427 on December 24, 2015, 06:05:29 PM: I stumbled upon this while doing an order SUM-CSUM-BB3x2 which is a 3 duece tunnel wedge manifold. Is Summit doing this? Or?

One clue is that they don't have it in stock. Usually Summit keeps the parts they manufacture on hand.

Post by: cammerfe on December 25, 2015, 02:37:26 PM: I come from an 'old-school' direction. Ford went to 2x4s from 3x2s for several good reasons including simplicity and good distribution. Going backward on a tunnel-wedge doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. Looks neat but not the ultimate.

It's a single plane intake.

I agree with you Paulie, but in both Summit ads they describe it as a dual plane. I'm guessing that may be why Steve is asking ( sorry Steve if I'm mistaken).

I didn't see that until you pointed it out. Well, it's a mistake either way. It looks like Summit copied the text from another 3x2 intake and pasted it in for the description of this one. Just a guess.
