Engine Masters Season 3 Episode 4 - Intakes for Torque vs. Horsepower

Airdate: 2018-Mar-28

Episode summary:

It's back to basics this time on this episode of Engine Masters presented by AMSOIL, with a comparison of dual-plane versus single-plane intake manifolds. While the intakes used here are typical for any carbureted V-8, the lessons about how the length of the intake runners affects the shape of the power curve apply to any four-stroke engine. So are you into low-end grunt, or top-rpm horsepower? And how much of one are you willing to sacrifice to get the other? This episode will help you answer those questions. Engine Masters is supported by MSD, Holley, Permatex, Auto Meter, and Summit Racing!
