Use the following guidelines to help you choose the correct
Intake Manifold for your needs:
The S.P.1
is the most powerful intake manifold for the Buick Big Block for the street and
strip. No
other intake out performs the S.P.1,
for street/strip combinations! Power range is between
2500-6500 RPM. This manifold is a single plane design. If you want the maximum performance
from your engine this is the intake for you. This intake will NOT work with cars
using factory type ram air, air cleaners. Must use a low profile air cleaner base
and 3" element, in order to fit under the hood. This is an aggressive looking high
rise intake, so stealth is not obtainable. This intake is not for sale or use in
California on Pollution Controlled Vehicles.
The SPX
is the best choice for race applications where RPM is going to be 4000 + RPM
and where peak HP is 6500 + RPM. Limited street use, this intake prefers
higher RPM, low RPM driving results in fuel dropping out of the charge and
can lead to raw fuel in the cylinders. The SP-1 is best for street/strip
combinations. Fits Stock Iron heads, Stage 1 SE and Stage 2 SE heads. Does
not fit Track Eliminator, Stage 3 or Stage 4. This intake will NOT
work with cars using factory type ram air, air cleaners. Must use a
low profile air cleaner base and 3" element, in order to fit under the hood.
This is an aggressive looking high rise intake, so stealth is not
obtainable. This intake is not for sale or use in California on Pollution
Controlled Vehicles.
The 350
Stage 1 intake manifold is the ultimate intake for the Buick 350, it out performs
other manufacturer's intakes... by far. This intake is a dual plane design with a power
range between 0-7200 RPM. It is similar in height as the stock intake and will work
with cars using original type ram air, air cleaners. This intake is an excellent
choice when upgrading from 2 barrel to 4 barrel. Stealth is obtainable when painted
to match. This intake manifold is not for use or sale in California on Pollution
Controlled Vehicles.
The Edelbrock
Performer intake is a good all around intake for the street and limited race
for 400-430-455 engines. Power Range is between 0-5000 RPM. This
manifold is a dual plane design. The Edelbrock retains similar height as the
stock manifold, so cars using original type ram air can utilize this intake.
Stealth is obtainable with this intake when painted to match. This intake is
emissions legal in all 50 states, on Non-EGR Equipped Vehicles.
The Offenhauser
dual-quad and tri-power intakes are designed
for people who want the most aggressive look they can obtain for their Buick Big
Block or Nailhead engines. These intakes
are taller than stock and the
use of low profile air cleaners are required in most applications. The Offenhauser intake is an excellent
performer, as well. These intakes
are not for sale or use in California on Pollution
Controlled Vehicles.
