So many questions to answer, but I'll do my best.
To use the M90 blower you have to use a 4bbl carb right?
Wrong, you can use a carb or injectors, as is true with any of the manifolds we plan to produce. That's the sweet part, you can start with a carb then add a throttle body and injectors when you have the money. We will be selling all the support parts too (fuel regulators, fuel pumps, controllers, etc).
Our original thought was to produce a 4V intake with an adaptor for a 2V, as that only makes sense. Or does it?
While doing our basic research, we found this may not work if we strive to achieve optimum performance from both. The 4V intake needs to be a tad bit wider ( 1") than a 2V design. Considering the clearance issues to the shock towers, a 4V design would need to sacrifice some of the performance to clear the towers in the early stangs and falcons. The 2V, being narrower, would be fine.
The question of how much would be sacrificed, still remains to be answered. Once we have a prototype in our hands, we will verify fitment, clearance, and runner design. Then flow test to see just how much of a difference it makes.
If only a slight difference, we will combine them into one intake. However, if it requires sacrificing to much, we will design specific intakes. But that brings up the next question, how much is to much?
Also, if we design specific intakes, the 4V may not fit the early stangs or falcons without modification to the towers. Which many may not be willing to do. This then makes some of the other options more desirable if you are seeking all out performance, but want to stick with natural aspiration. Thus the reason we are looking into twin duces or triple intakes. If twin 2Vs, do we go with Webbers, or Holleys?
The best fitting intake, would be a plenum design with a throttle body on the front or rear (customers choice) and injectors in the runners. But by the time you add up all the other parts (regulator, pump, rails, controller, etc) this gets a bit on the expensive side. We know we need to watch pricing, as we don't want to push these out of reach for those on a budget.
The best power would come from the M90. Best for show? The triple TBI (like the SEMA motor) are tough to beat. Easiest to maintain? Best MPG?
As you can see, we have a lot of work ahead of us, once we get a prototype head to work with. And a lot of questions to answer. Which is why I posted this poll. We want to know what you guys want, so we can quide our efforts in the right dirrections.
