If you check the RPM ranges on both you will see where they perform well. The dual plane intakes tend to idle better and run better at lower RPM's which is where most people need them to run well. The single plane intakes are hard to get to idle well and don't really start performing well until the RPM's are higher. For the most part they will shine mainly at the race track where you don't care much about fuel savings or having it idle well. I would be skepticle of running a single plane even on a stroker motor unless it has been built with a cam for high RPM's which isn't a very desireable traight in an off road vehicle.

What is the difference between plane and tunnel ram intake manifolds?

I am assuming that you mean the difference between a dual plane and single plane intake manifold on a gasoline engine and that the engine uses a carburetor to mix the air and fuel. Generally speaking, what you are referring to as a tunnel ram manifold is designed with a large open area, or plenum, under the carburetor intake flange and has no tunnels at all. this design is for high rpm racing only. That kind of racing requires maximum air flow and will have very poor throttle response on a street car. The dual plane manifold has cast in runners that separate the incoming air flow from the carburetor flange to each intake port in the cylinder head. This design will give good throttle response and performance.Aftermarket intake manifolds are all designed for a specific rpm range and the manufacturer will have any information you may need on their website or help telephone line.


What is the difference between dohc and sohc?

DOHC - Dual Overhead Cam. This means that there is an intake and an exhaust cam, allowing the valves to move differently for the intake and exhaust. SOHC uses a single cam with more lobes
