I don't know Sam. That's the kind of lungs I was talking about. If you're
going to make it breathe all the way through then the 53mm might be exactly
what you need.

Actually the motor I'm going with(probably)is a Mopar 360 shortblock with a
Hughes cam either the 1418 or the 1828, R/T heads, M1 4 bbl or maybe this
new 2bbl, 24 lb. injectors, Mopar headers and computer and I was just a
little curious about that 53 MM TB it seems a bit optimistic on the flow
rating but I could be wrong. And it maybe too much for the package I'm
putting together. I'm really having to twist the wife's arm to let me do
all this so I don't want to spend too much money unnecessarily. I also
talked to someone at the Mopar tech. line about the new 2bbl intake and I
came away convinced after being on hold for a half hour that they don't know
sh*t about the things they sell. It's the same old story the people on the
DML know more about Dak performance then Mopar does!!
