I have no direct eperience with the F4B so I can't really comment.
My comment is that I would expect the RPM and Stealth to be at least
as good or better than the Cobra high rise dual plane. They may not be
as good as the best single planes (from mid-range up) on a higher
compression engine with decent heads and exhaust. I do know an
autocrosser with a decently modified 302 that runs the Stealth and likes
it. He chose it over the RPM because it appeared to slightly larger plenum
and runners. He chose it over a single plane since low rpm throttle response
is important to him.
Sounds like we need to round a few intakes and strap someone's Tiger
to a dyno jet. That's what we're doing with a friend's TR8. He's got two
of my intakes, his own, and a vendor's. It will be interesting to see how
things compare.
