blue thunder intake

does anyone have a blue thunder intake. I was considering running one and was wondering what the torque/horsepower comparisons are, rpm, and how people like them.
thanks

He is asking about the dual plane highrise not the single plane unit that bluethunder makes, and I believe it's closer to the performer rpm than the victor.

Blue Thunder

The Blue Thunder dual plane for CJ heads will be down about 15 HP peak vs the Victor, however it is 28 ft lbs better in mid range than the Victor. It is a real nice street/strip intake. I have not seen a Blue Thunder single plane for a 460, except the two piece Thor race intake which is not compatable with production heads.

if i'm looking to do 60/40 street to mud and am shooting for around 400+hp/tq, do you think it would be a good intake for me or would you suggest sticking to the performer or something similar.
