The Only 400-430-455 Buick Intake Manifold to Increase Torque and Horsepower through the whole RPM range out of the box!!! With even more potential when ported! Dont waste your money on Novelty intake manifold designs that dont perform. The SP Series intakes are all business, a single plane design to support your big block into RPM ranges currently limited by stock and competitors intakes. Yet with our long straight runners coming out of the plenum, low RPM velocity is retained resulting in bottom end gains as well. The results... Power gains throughout the big blocks full power range! This intake is the best choice for 400+ hp combinations that will be street/strip or full race with power bands that peak between 5500 and 6500 RPM. Performs equally well on the street as well as in competition, this single plane intake manifold makes power from idle to 6200 RPM out of the box and with a match port job this intake will run to 7000 RPM. The runners are long and narrow to keep velocity up, and the last 2-3 inches of runner are straight to direct the air and fuel right at the valves. This means faster airflow and less fuel dropping out of the charge, which results in better throttle response and less low end power loss normally associated with single plane intake designs. In most cases, each runner is capable of flowing more air than the cylinder head can deliver, ensuring that the intake is not a restriction. This feature also allows for a stronger draw on the carburetor to fill the plenum more efficiently. The S.P. Series intake manifolds have an open plenum and are available in Spread Bore, Square Bore or Dominator flange configurations. SP-1 Models fit ALL factory iron heads as well as TAs Stage 1 and Stage 2 Street Eliminator Heads. SP-2 (Tall Port) Models fit TA Stage 1 and Stage 2 Track Eliminator, Stage 3, and Stage 4 aluminum cylinder heads. Part Nos.

Please Note: SP-1 Series intake manifolds are 1-3/4 taller than stock. SP-2 Series intake manifolds are 2 taller than stock. Using a drop base air cleaner with 3 element in most cases allows adequate hood clearance. GS Ram Air type air cleaners will NOT work. Other applications that have hood clearance issues are `67-`70 Riviera and `64-`67 GS/Skylark. Please confirm clearance. * New bolts are required on `72-`76 455 applications and optional on all others. Please see Our Intake Accessories Section starting on page 37!

Finishing by hand is required. Use the CNC machine work as a guide. Work above the eyebrow so it flows into the inner runner. Work below the eybrow so it rolls into the outer runner. Also be sure to maintain the divider length into the plenum. The same Dominator plenum is used on our SP-1, SP-2 a n d S P X i n t a k e manifolds.
