Has anyone used one? I'm building a 331 but I'm only going to spin it to the 6200 rpm limit, will it still be worth it? Is there another intake I should use?

Those are more for forced induction cars.

I know a lady (yes...woman) who runs VERY low 11s and high 10s all damn day with one of those intakes and some spray. I'm not sure what else she's got done but her car runs like a raped ape.

Also for high RPM applications. I would look at a trickflow or edelbrock or even a used GT40 or cobra.

Unless you have a healthy power adder, are spinning really fast, or have a big-big-big inch motor it will hurt you bad. Go to the Anderson motorsport website and read the reviews and dyno tests.
