Re: Box type upper intake manifold help

If that is the way you see it, there's no point in trying to explain.....like I said, I've worked 302 setups (N/A and SC) that have benefited from the box style intakes. Don't have dyno numbers, but an improvement in 1320' ETs with higher 60' numbers due to traction problems, is usually a good indication torque loss is null.

To the OP...

You have a 383 stroker setup, match a box intake to the correct camshaft (custom would be the best overall choice), tune that EFI, set that AEFUEL function at optimum (Acceleration Enrichment); and you'll have plenty of torque "down low", better engine acceleration and average TQ/HP under the curve.
