Paul's picture reminds me of the first early polished version of the Tomahawk intake.

That intake was developed and brought to market by Ken 'Ace' Brewer at Pacific Performance Racing back in 2005 with input from Dave "Big Injun" Anderson.
They named it the Tomahawk and Professional Products was the manufacturing partner at the time.

At the time their product literature stated "The Tomahawk Intake Manifold is designed to work with any cylinder head up to 300cfm"
They were talking about a 'AS CAST' Tomahawk with no port work.

I bought one of these early polished intakes from Ken at PPR. Never used it on the car, but later I dyno tested it on my current 505 for interest.
The port work and plenum work on that Tomahawk I used was very similar to my Dave Bisschop modified HSD intake.
On my very early 505 combo with its first cam this Tomahawk intake, with 1-inch carb spacer & HP950 carb made about 608 HP.
The Victor intake, no carb spacer & HP950 carb at that dyno session made 642 HP.
