Corvette Intake Shootout - Deep Breathing Exercise
Corvette Intake Shootout - Deep Breathing Exercises
Dyno power comparison of Edelbrock Corvette intake manifoldsOne of the charms of our favored V-8 engine layout is a cylinder head topping the cylinder bores at each bank, processing the fuel/air mixture, and releasing spent gases in an efficient manner. As a necessity, bridging the gap between these cylinder banks is the intake manifold, fittingly the crowning component of the engine and garnering a large share of the visual attention. Besides looking good, an intake manifold is a major contributor to an engine's power production and performance characteristics. An intake manifold is charged with the seemingly simple duty of routing air and fuel via passages from the fuel and throttle source to these twin rows of cylinder heads. Although its function is simple enough to recognize, the subtleties of an intake's configuration and design play a key role in performance.

The engine combo produces 450-plus horsepower, and winds willingly into the mid to upper 6,000-rpm range.26433734/techarticles/corp_0310_corvette_intake_shootoutcorp_0310_01+cor vette_intake_shootout+.jpgTrue
