A little teaser: If you were to combine the 'winners' of these previous tests, you would have a fairly powerful combination-and that's exactly what you can expect us to do in an upcoming issue. Most recently, in our June '13 issue, we completed our massive single-plane comparison ('The Great Intake Flog'), testing 19 intakes on our 406ci small block that is this month's test mule. The following month, we looked at a bunch of inexpensive four-barrel carburetors ('The Great $299 Carburetor Shootout,' Oct. '12 issue ('Eight-Budget-SBC-Head Shootout'), in which we wrestled eight less-than-$1,000 heads on our Slayer 350 small block Chevy. The first was a budget cylinder head-test in the Sept.

We mentioned that this intake comparison is part of a series of small block Chevy components testing we've completed. We bypassed both the Vortec intake and the '87 to mid-'90s intakes, on which the four center-bolt angles were altered. The collection of manifolds could have been even larger, but we limited our test to the'55'86-style bolt pattern. We collected a 23-deep pile of dual plane intakes to continue with our small block Chevy dual plane intake comparison.

But it wasn't until we started counting did we realize the incredible variety of choices when it comes to choosing a dual plane intake manifold for a small block Chevy. A well-designed dual plane intake can improve torque, add horsepower, and make that otherwise stock engine look a little more aggressive. Further underscoring our commitment to the racing community, Edelbrock is the only aftermarket intake manifold manufacturer licensed by NASCAR.If you're a typical car crafter, one of the first performance-engine parts you bought was probably a dual plane intake manifold. Working with these talented individuals is just another extension of our research and development process so when we say “proven performance” we really mean it! Top racing teams in all forms of motorsports rely on Edelbrock to produce parts that they can count on to win races and championships.

Our products are also tested and used by professional race car teams and drivers. Edelbrock test vehicles are driven by Edelbrock engineers and employees to get a “real world” feeling for the performance improvements. These precise testing procedures are applied to the entire Edelbrock line for performance that’s guaranteed. When all testing is completed, the results evaluated, and the part has passed all performance criteria, then, and only then, is the product deemed ready for production. For real-world tuning, there’s our Super Flow model SF-840 eddy-current chassis dyno that can handle up to 1,000 hp at the wheels and speeds of 200 mph.

It’s fully automated and programmable to simulate various driving situations, and is equipped with WinDyn software for the very latest in testing equipment. For 2007, we added a new Super Flow SF902 engine dyno. Our three Super Flow computerized engine dynos are capable of measuring 11 separate engine variables up to speeds of 12,000 rpm. That’s why every product we design and sell at Edelbrock is tested and approved by Edelbrock engineers in a real world environment on state-of-the-art equipment. Why? Without adequate testing, there’s no way to stand behind your product with confidence.

When you design and sell the best-engineered performance products in the world, you have to have a rigorous testing program.
