i just got back from a friends testing a 302... figured this might interest some of ya...the engine is a 5.0L roller block .030" over and higher compression than stock (dunno exact specs here, gotta ask), the heads are TFS Twisted Wedge with 2.02" intakes, the headers are 1 5/8" and two sets were tested, a regular long tube set and the quite short ones needed to fit the Triumph the engine goes in (about 22" primary length)and the cam is a fairly big hydraulic roller, 236 duration and .564" lift on exhaust, smaller intake (??didn't write this stuff down) The two intakes tested were a Weiand 2P180 dual plane, flat looking thing needed to fit under the cars hood ... and a Weiand XCelerator single plane... the engine made 377hp with the dual plane, max at 6000rpm and falling off beyond that... the single plane (which i figured would put it well over 400hp) made 381, just 4 hp more, tho 20lbs ft more torque around 5000  . It too fell off at the same RPM level. The combo was tested a few times with minor carb changes then the dual plane was stuck back on and 377 again. Go figure?

377hp @6000rpm sounds pretty damn good for a no-frills 302. I wouldn't of guessed it would have signed off at 6000, though. That little triumph should be a rocket-ship! It reminds me of one night we street raced a small block powered triumph in my buddy's '67 camaro. We were gaining on the guy at around 110 when he decided to slow down. He didn't have brake lights, and the little triumph could stop on a dime. We shot out into the other lane of traffic and somehow made it around the triumph. All I remember is seeing oncoming cars headlights, a barn, a bank, trees. We actually went around the oncoming car on the opposite shoulder of the road!... all in about a second! I don't know how I survived those years.

That's a lot of HP for a 302 @ only 6000 rpms !! I can't wait to get my 331 TFS headed project finished.

actually we were expecting the single plane intake to make well over 400hp . Surprising such a bad looking intake didn't harm power. It looks similar to a F4B or Cobra intake but lower and has the runners "backwards" (lower plane is #2,3,5 and 8)[This message has been edited by TomP (edited 04-24-2002).]

The Xcellerator is not a very good single plane intake to be using on good aftermarket heads. They just don't flow enough cfm for my taste. A Victor Jr. pulls way better under a load. Even a RPM Air-Gap is better in my book.

You are right, the Air Gap picked up ET over the Xcelerator when my buddy switched it on his car. I would think the regular Perf RPM isn't much different?

Take a peak at the June 5.0 Mustang Magazine. There's a dyno comparison between the victor, RPM, and the Air Gap. Although it's the 351 version, results should be similar. In a nutshell:
Victor: 470lb-ft@4600/465hp@5600
RPM: 485@4000/455@5500
Air Gap:486@4000/461@5700
Looks like the Air Gap's a good compromise between the victor jr and the rpm. Look at the torque improvement of the dual planes!

why did the motor drop off so early? why didnt it go over 400hp? yes those are good numbers. i think the intakes tested are junk imo, i like nothing but edelbrock in that buisness. too bad it HAS to fit under the hood. results are interesting but not at all suprising. tell him to get a cowl hood and nitrous and go pick on some crotch rockets. hey if the gm's/mopars are woosies, go slay the bikes.------------------
67 coupe, 650dp and rpm intake on 5.0 with afr 165 heads, 4 speed, 4.11's.....best so far is [email protected] in 1/8 mile with 1.79 60ft. time.

I poked a bit further, cam is a Crane # 449601 with 224 and 232 at .050" and.542" and .563" lift the thing is 10.5:1 compression. All hydraulic rollers they test seem to fall off at 6000, dunno why, this has good springs.

also... it picked up only 30hp over a B303 cam and stock pistons (+.030" bore increase and a point and a half compression)

How did the shortie headers do compared to the long tubes?

these shortie headers are still pretty long, the car has sidepipes and these headers are ones i built to fit. The car had ordinary shorties before, we figure they corked up a bunch of power but won't know until the car is back on the track.
