Hi Schuyler,
I don't know how it ran on the 2V carb since mine had a thrown rod when
I bought it.  However it seems to pull hard at the high RPMs with the
Weiand manifold.  

I debated which manifold to use but, when I compared the Weiand to the
factory dual quad manifold I noticed that they looked identical as far
as the port and runner configuration.  I am not sure it's a "lame"
design since it looks like they stole the factory design for it.

They are both single plane manifolds.  It would be nice to have dyno
tests for all the manifolds.   

Regards,
Ken

OK, what's up wiyh the Weiand intake for the Poly? In the few years 
I've been on this list I hear this same
story. I even heard one guy say he put the two barrel boat anchor back 
on his Poly and felt more
zip out of the motor. Is there any thing that can be done to the Weiand 
intake to improve the
performance? Is it designed for higher rpm's? Isn't the Weiand a dual 
plane? Why does it
say 'high rise' on it? Does anyone have anything good to say about the 
Weiand beside
the light weight ? Why is the only after market intake left for the 
Poly such a lame design?
WHY ?  why?  whyyyyy???:-)  uh, Gary... anyone... does anyone want to 
trade intakes
so I can make a comparison ?? I did put a 1" spacer on my Weiand and it 
did seem to
improve things little but that might be whishful thinking. And if this 
intake is in fact a dud,
let's let it be Known, before anyone else waste their hard earned cash 
on this thing!
I think those of us trying to build some power out of our Poly's have a 
hard enough time
already. So let's hear from all Poly owners who feel the Weiand didn't 
cut it compared to the factory
intake and help each other out.
ok ,  I'm done, thanks for listening:-)
