Default Mopar Intake

Does anyone have any experience with this Mopar Intake?

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/DCC-5007790/

The Hughes kit is too much more my liking and I'm pretty sure my plenum gasket is blown because my 318 has a hard time hitting 55mph and up unless I'm on the gas pretty hard. She's also pretty hesitant with anything under 3-3500 range. I'm going to replace the PCV valve this weekend and check the plugs because I'm sure the PO hadn't.

That's an intake from really high running RPM's, probably not good for your towing needs.

That's an M1 4bbl single plane intake.

an M1 2bbl dual plane might be better if you can't afford the airgap. You can get one with egr and block that off if you can find one for cheaper.

I will say the design of the airgap is superior to all of those if you need low end torque. How often do you pull that boat around?

Thanks for the input. I pull it a couple of times a week.

Then I think you would definitely hate that intake manifold.

So really for everyday use the Airgap will be a better buy then. I might just start with the Hughes Plenum kit in that case and maybe the Kegger mod.

That will definitely be the cheapest route, and you'll get a little bump from shaving off the runners.
