Why would you use a dual plane intake?
Dual plane manifolds make better power off idle and at cruising rpm. The smaller plenums increase the airflow velocity. They also transmit the induction pulses from the intake valve to the carburetor better. This improves fuel atomization and metering, especially at low rpm.
Is Edelbrock Performer a dual plane intake?
PERFORMER® INTAKE MANIFOLDS The Performer is our patented dual-plane, low-rise intake manifold with a 180° design that greatly improves torque over a wide RPM range. An Edelbrock Performer is an ideal choice for muscle cars, hot rods, restomods, passenger cars, custom trucks, 4x4s and RVs.
Where are Weiand intakes made?
the USA

What is the difference between a single and dual plane intake?
A dual-plane intake manifold has two separate plenums that each feed only four cylinders, while a single-plane intake manifold has a single, open plenum that feeds all eight cylinders. The smaller plenum found in a dual-plane intake, favors power production at a lower rpm range.
Will Holley sniper work on a dual-plane intake?
You may find that to get the Sniper to play well with a dual-plane that you’ll have to install a tapered open spacer so the Sniper sensors can see what’s happening with vacuum and for the IAC to function properly. Some do some don’t but also a spacer gets the Sniper a little further from the heat.
Does a carburetor spacer add horsepower?
Yes, they will give you more horsepower. But carb spacers have another important function. They also act as insulators which keep engine heat away from your carburetor to ensure cooler incoming air and fuel.

Will Holley sniper work on a dual plane intake?
How do I know if I need a carb spacer?
Carb spacers only do one thing, increase the size of the plenum area of the intake manifold. Larger plenums = higher RPM power curves (less low RPM torque). Unless you are operating at or above 6,000 – 8,000 RPM and are using a single plane intake manifold, you “shouldn’t” need a carb spacer.
Is a carb spacer worth it?
Spacers are said to improve air/fuel vaporization through and out of the carburetor. Anytime the air/fuel charge has to turn sharply coming off the carb, it increases the chance of separating the fuel from the air.
