Just thought I would drop a note on here. I have driven my 62 Catalina with the new bathtub intake about 800 miles now. If anyone is on the fence with concerns about street manners, rest assured, this version of the bathtub has excellent street manners. My engine will idle at 1000 RPM's for as long as you like, rock solid, no loading up. I have been caught in construction traffic for 45 minutes at a time, smooth as silk. Off idle, very snappy. Tire shredding power at WOT. Draws quite a bit of attention at car shows. If you plan to run air cleaners, you can PM me about the fitment on a 62 at least. If you always wanted one, this may be your last chance. Super high quality piece. BTW, I have a pretty big solid lifter cam in my engine. 13.5" of vacuum at 1000 RPM. I am confident with a milder cam, this intake would idle right down to whatever speed you like.
