If so how'd it do? I like the idea of not pulling the upper to mess with the valve train.

I'll be going to the spyder pretty soon.

Current setup is a box Comp Cams upper... valve cover access is pretty nice....

I run one on my 331. (Hey, that rhymes)

It’s definitely a higher RPM intake, not to say the car is hurting for torque down low, but I will tell you the car pull all the way to redline like a banshee.

You still need to take the upper intake elbow off to remove the passenger side valve cover, but since the 4 bolts/nuts are right out in the open, it’s seriously a 30 second job.

However, if I could do it all over again, I would get the edelbrock EFI intake they just came out with, cheaper, and the fuel rails look a lot better.

The intake does get a lot of compliments though, and when you see a car that runs it, you just know the thing is built extremely stout.

I want to measure mine. It doesn't look that tall.

hmmm, not what I was thinking of. looks like it would be more at home on a turbo car.

No turbo or supercharger on mine.

If you build the engine right, that intake WILL work

professional products makes an carb style EFI manifold called the hurricane for pretty cheap. i bet it would work good, they also sell fuel rails too.

I found one with the typhoon manifold, elbo and fuel rails for less then $500.00. Right now I just have exhaust and cold air but want to do the intake when I do the Thumper heads and Steeda 18 cam

That intake is too big for a 306, you will have low RPM driveability issues.

unless your building a car that will be boosted, or see high RPMs constantly, do not use the intake on a 302/306 engine, you will regret it

The spyder style carb intakes are not fit for 99% of the small cube motors out, unless they are all out drag motors, lots of compression, lots of head and lots of rpm. If your looking at the Probe/CHP Spyders they are available in both a Vic Jr stlye lower and a Super Vic. Edelbrock just released their own version which has the bungs cast in, it is a Super Vic. They also now offer some elbows as well, box style, standard and low profile.. Prices aren't bad.

Personally a Cobra, Performer or Street Heat will feed all a E7 even ported can take...
