What intake should I get?

[BombThreat]

Im wondering what your guys thoughts are on what brand intake manifold is best for the 62T? I havent looked into this area much and I really dont have a clue. Are they all pretty much the same? I'm thinking of using the Boyesen rad valves with it on a 5mm stroked 760 BB 61x. Thoughts?:thinkerg:

The Boysean (SP!) manifold is a great one, you mount the carbs to a plate and then the plate mounts to the manifold. You can remove the carbs in about 2 minutes.

I have that one and it rocks.

Where can I find more info on that with some good pictures?

I believe that's an R&D Dominator manifold, not Boyesen.
They make the appropriate RAD valves for it.

R and D if different as far as I know.

I must be confused (that's normal!). I thought it was the Dominator manifold that has the plate.

Edit...I just looked. The dominator manifold does have the plate.

Here's the Boyesen one.

R&D makes one with and without the plate. The one with the plate is called a Dominator.

So what's the difference between the Dominator and the Boyesen?

Almost nothing. The Boyesen casting is a bit nicer and it uses orings between the plate and manifold. If you're gonna get the complete maifold/reed setup, I believe the Dominator/M-16(with replacement petals) is better than the Boyesen manifiold/reed combo. Just my opinion.

I think R&D is only making the Dominator from now on.

I just run the manifold with OEM Cages. Both are good as far as the manifold goes.

By far the easiest to deal with...(when you have to take your carbs 100X to get the settings right).

Note that there are two different versions of the dominator out there also.

One has significantly bigger runner volume (cross section) set up specifically for the M-16 reeds. The other more common one is for OEM and V-Force reeds. On motors approaching 1000cc, I believe that this makes a difference in flow.

Note the pictures below of the two versions of the R&D intake (the carb plates are not pictured).

Good thing Ive got some time to make up my mind with all these choices, thanks for all the clarification. It really helped
