Lynx Manifold Question: Why?

[jwcurry]

My name is on the list for the Lynx Manifold group by but....I do have a question.

I've got a "hogged-out" factory intake manifold along with a 38/38 downdraft Weber. It's dialed-in and running fine.

My question is, "why?". Why would someone want to switch?

Is there a major perfromance gain with a single 40 or single 45? Appearance?

I'm just asking....I have no opinion but would like to hear some

just in case the group buy happens and I have to pony up cash.

I put my name on the list for a Lynx, but at the time only had a 32/36 and

wanted more "oomph!" I beleive I have that now with the 38/38

So, take your name off the list.

I am in a similar boat. But, my 38 ain't perfect. It stumbles around the neighborhood. So I figured it was an opportunity to get in on a "rare" part that I could resell at cost anyway if I didn't want it.

But, it's probably a moot point since the group buy supplier has apparently dried up.

I think that everyone on the list should be reconfirmed before any group order is placed.

....but still, the question remains...."What's the benefit of running

with a Lynx set-up?"

Anybody out there have one and is in love with it? Do tell.

Well from what i've heard, and what I know about engine dynamics, with the Lynx set up you get long runers (which helps with lower down torque) and then you have one throat feeding 2 cylinders which fire at opposite firing pulses, so they aren't trying to steal the same air fuel mixture (I hope that makes sense). So then you have that, plus ths "infinite" tunability of the DCOE carb (if you have the jets and chokes and patience). Plus since the DCOE is a sidedraft, there is no 90 degree turn for the air to make, so it has smoother delivery. I don't own a lynx, but i"m looking to get one to convert into a EFI fuel injection system, with a nice little 2 barrel throttle body with LONG curved air horns, hopefully getting me good torque, good power, and good fuel milage, we'll see though. I'm still trying to find a Lynx at a decent price, and I need it pretty soon.

I have the set up with the 45 DCOE. It replaced the 38/38 which replaced the 32/36. All were better than than the previous with the greatest being the jump to the Lynx set up. Granted my motor is not stock, but it is not wild either. The power is phenomenal throughout the band. I thought the 38/38 was great, this is better. Try it, you will like it. Peter

Jerry, contact me off-line if you would like a detail discusson of this subject. I would have sent you an email, but you have not posted one.

Chris, 

Do you stil have the Lynx manifold installed?

Is it worth the effort?
