Choosing the Right Engine Intake Manifold
Single-Plane vs Dual-Plane Intake Manifold Differences
When it comes to single-plane vs dual-plane intake manifold differences, it all depends on your performance goals:
- Single-plane intake manifolds are ideal for high-RPM applications such as drag racing, offering a straight path for airflow and improved top-end power.
- Dual-plane intake manifolds deliver better low-to-mid-range torque, making them an excellent fit for street cars and daily drivers.
EFI Conversion & Custom Builds
Looking to modernise your setup? Our range includes EFI intake manifold conversion options, meaning you can easily upgrade from a carburetted system.
Why Choose a VPW Intake Manifold?
Our manifolds give enthusiasts everything they need to perform well. Benefits of aluminium intake manifolds include:
- Lightweight design for improved vehicle balance
- Superior heat dissipation compared to cast iron
- Durability under high-performance conditions
Explore specialty options like square-bore intake manifolds and high-rise intake manifolds for racing applications, or custom car intake manifold setups for one-of-a-kind builds.
For a comprehensive upgrade, we also carry complete kits including accessories such as:
- throttle bodies
- fuel pumps
- air filters
How to Choose a Performance Intake Manifold for Street Racing
When choosing a performance intake manifold for street racing, consider the following:
- RPM Range: Dual-plane for lower RPM responsiveness, single-plane for higher RPM power.
- Fuel System: EFI vs carburetted compatibility.
- Fitment: Ensure the manifold matches your engine architecture (e.g. small-block Chevy, Holden V8, etc.).
- Purpose: Balance between daily driveability and track-ready performance.

FAQs
What’s the difference between single-plane and dual-plane intake manifolds?
Single-plane intake manifolds are for high-speed activity due to their straight path for airflow, which improves top-end power; dual-plane intake manifolds are for day-to-day driving, providing low-to-mid-range torque.
What are the benefits of aluminium intake manifolds?
Aluminium intake manifolds improve vehicle balance (due to their lightweight design), dissipate heat much better than cast iron, and endure under high-performance conditions.
Are there manifold kits that include accessories like fuel rails or throttle bodies?
VPW offers manifold kits that suit electronic fuel injection, ensuring seamless integration with fuel rails, throttle bodies, and other EFI components.
Can I convert to EFI using a VPW manifold?
Yes — you can convert to EFI using a VPW intake manifold, especially with our adaptable mounting kits and accessory options.
