I am currently running a 2.0/4 with a cam and dual 44idf webers on Tangerine cable linkage and short intake manifolds. My question is what are the benefits/downsides on the taller intake manifolds? I have the option to run both

I was really hoping someone would chime in on this, I've wondered the same thing myself.
I know some of the high performance SBC heads have longer intake runners. I have noticed that some of the intakes used for higher RPM will be taller and some designed for torque will be shorter. |

QUOTE(Bruce Hinds @ Sep 23 2014, 01:28 PM)  I have noticed that some of the intakes used for higher RPM will be taller and some designed for torque will be shorter. You got that backwards! Taller intakes give you a bit more low end torque, shorter intakes will give you a bit more high rpm power. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

I installed the tallest manifolds that would fit (with the carbe and filter) under the deck lid

Depends on your cam and the entire combo.

I know that on my other NA boxer engine there is an aftermarket part (crawford billet power blocks) that extends the intake manifold runner length over stock.
This results in an almost perfect shift of the torque curve downwards in the RPM range. So if even remotely apples to apples: longer runners = higher torque at lower RPM shorter runners = higher torque at higher RPM |
