Is this a good intake for the 347?

For $749 a kit - upper and lower and fuel rails. Price isn't an issue. The issue is I need a good intake for a 347. The tubular gt40 just ain't gonna cut it. It was gonna be a 351 based stroker but for reasons it's gonna be an all forged sportsman block 347 shortblock from CHP. The cam will be custom. The heads are Trick Flow R's that are fully cnc'd with a 2.08 intake valve (thats about all I know about the heads). It will carry the old supercharger as well, that was hitting 10 psi. This isn't for my 347 set-up, its for a buddy. We have just torn down his old set-up and gonna be ordering all the new stuff in the next couple of weeks and all the old stuff will hit Ebay tomorrow.

Is there a better intake? Edelbrock Performer, Victor, Holley Systemax or will the CHP Spyder be good?

The Victor Jr spyder style intake will work very well with any healthy stroker combo, I have found at times the cam is critical to extracting all the power they are capable of. With the blower you may get away with the Super Victor intake but it needs a little higher rpm then I personally would think that combo would be safe at.

Just remember it does not have any provisons for a PCV valve, I also usually port the elbow in the throat to make sure it is 90 al the way through.

Thanks Rick! Yeah its not gonna be spinning very high rpms or at least not all the time. This is a weekend / strip car. As far as the pvc provision goes, thanks for the heads up. We weren't aware of that, but thats not a biggy. He had his mind set on the Spyder but I wanted to get some input from people in the know
