Take a look at this thread. They get into the whole Hughes intake on the second page.

That Hughes manifold is an Eddy carburated manifold that they retro fitted for MPI. KRC did a dyno comparison between it and the M1 (Mopar Performance manifold) a while back. IIRC, HP was the same and the Eddy had 6 ft/lbs more.

Either one is an improvement with a proper tune, but don't count on that added 6mpg lol.
