Logan Motorsports 2V Intake Manifold
The Logan Motorsports 4.6 2V intake manifold was designed for those 2V
performance enthusiasts that want a high horsepower, high rpm edge, without the compromises. The stock
intake manifold becomes a serious restriction at higher horsepower levels, and this is clearly evidenced by
a 2V's traditional lack of rpm range. Even when coupled with the largest off the self cams available,
ported heads, headers, etc; 2V's are generally out of breath by 6300-6500 rpm. This is completely unacceptable
for a serious performance engine in this day and age. Now you can have 4V rivaling rpm range on your street car
without sacrificing low-rpm performance. Independant testing has shown over 60 horsepower on heavily modified
combinations, with huge powerbands.
Testing done in Muscle Mustangs & Fast Fords magazine showed gains of 62 rwhp
and 27lb-ft. This came with little to no loss in low and midrange performance.
It also works extremely well on more mild naturally aspirated combinations. For example the following
graph is of a 281ci combination with 10.75:1 compression, Comp 270 cams, and Livernois Stage 1 heads. The car
has long tube headers and full exhaust, and obviously our new manifold. This is a very mild combination that idles
at 800 rpm and has excellent driveability. It is also inexpensive and does not include any special parts. It produces
incredible power however, with 321 rwhp and 309 lb-ft. This is extremely high for a combination such as this, and would
be a good power number on an NA 4V. Also notice how long the power is carried, not only does it make a nice peak
number but it stays near that number for a very long time.
The manifold is priced at $1499, this includes all fittings, line, and hardware to install the manifold. It comes
with the option of either front or side throttle body position. The front offers the most performance, although the side
version is still very very good. The manifold requires a twin blade or big oval(optional) throttle body.
It also needs a new throttle cable, they differ depending upon throttle body location.
