Poppaj,

I got the mods for the STR yesterday.
They are different than the DC book mods.
Have you ever seen or do you have mods from fugly? I'd like to do a comparison of all before I grind, remove and epoxy.

Thanks.

Poppaj got the mod yesterday as well,thanks,mark

 

[fugly]

The mods I do are somewhat CID/rpm dependent-if someone will email/pm me the mods you are talking about , I will tell you what I would change if anything

 

[HEMI-ITIS]

SSR -the mod I would recommend for your STR is to pull the top off, stick your head in it and bolt the top back on. Should work like a blower.

ok now thats funny.

Little boy,remember you always have to agree with POOPAJ [POPS],and ALWAYS laugh at his attempts at making a joke or no more beer and you might have to pay some rent.

But once again,POOPAJ had to be PUSHED to deliver something he said he would do.I will refrain from putting up "THE LINK" to a particular thread on YB.SO,who's blowin' the hot air,and who's suckin???

Have not seen the mods Damon does, pretty sure he would discuss it with you though, just go to diamondback racing site might be something in his white papers on the manifolds.
These mods were developed during my SS/Sk time at the Rod Shop. Much time was spent with this intake for SS as well as the StageIII cross ram and the Weind (sp) six pack tunnel ram. poppaj

Hi all! I've been more of a "lurker" on here but I just bought a STR-14 intake with the single Holley 4bbl and six pack lids. Could you please post the mods for the 4bbl or PM me with the info? I can use all the help I can get!
What do you think about installing a blow out pressure valve? I've read that the lids break in the event of a backfire.
I was looking at this?...any thoughts? I have one beeing shipped.

Here are the modifications that are used for the Edelbrock/DC Intake manifold to increase performance.
I tried a few different techniques but this one seemed to work the best.
My Edelbrock STR-14 was modified a little different because I used a PVC style spacer to dissipitate some extra unwanted heat that was sandwiched between the lid and the baseplate.
here ya go Actionange1.
no scanner problems here!

[Quinvinms]

would you consider selling one of your lids?

The mods to the STR intake are all about fuel distribution and part of that mod is to the carbs themselves. For the six pack it involves jetting and high speed bleed changes and maybe the idle circuit too. I have an STR myself (14-4; 14-45 and 14-6) and will start playing with it soon. The ram effect is dictated by the length and volume of the runners as well as the box itself. I don't believe that with any intake shootout you can just swap the same carb on the different intake and expect that new combo to be dialed in. There is no substitute for trial and error and reading plugs and/or EGT.

If anyone needs one, I have a single 4 bbl top for sale. Edelbrock STR 14-4
