Cooler Intake Temperature Makes Horsepower
JEGS Cool Gap dual-plane intake manifold is more efficient and creates more horsepower than standard dual-plane models. This manifold's unique air space design under the plenum and runners allow airflow to pull off excess heat, decreasing the intake temperature and providing better fuel atomization for improved performance. The 4150/4160 carb flange accepts most non-EGR 4-bbl square bore carburetors; this cast aluminum manifold is available in satin and polished finishes.

What Are The Main Benefits of JEGS Cool Gap Performance Intake Manifolds?
The JEGS Cool Gap performance intake manifolds incorporate an air space underneath the carburetor mounting pad, plenum, and runners, creating a tunnel, which allows cooler air to flow through as the vehicle moves. This reduces intake and carburetor temperatures, resulting in a cooler and denser air and fuel charge, and increasing horsepower and torque for your engine. SBF, SBM, and SBC intake manifolds in the JEGS Cool Gap line of products are made from lightweight aluminum, providing additional cooling of the incoming air/fuel mixture.
