I'm glad I helped.
a 94 x 82 (2276) should have a lot of torque, a lot more than the standard engine so also with an aggressive cam it should be a pleasure also for a daily driver ',even more with a 5 speed transalex.
After all,before splitting the case drive the car to know if you like it

Yes ,the buggy is a 13b N/A brigported

Right, I was thinking the 2276 engine size would help with torque at lower RPM's.

The bridgeport must make a lot of power! Part of my 13b swap was to use a 4-barrel carburetor, splitting the primary and secondary barrels with different length intakes (like a variable intake runner) to improve torque at low RPM's while increasing HP at high RPM's.

O.T.
I have a Racing Beat intake for sidedraft Weber that has a mixed electronic vacuum ports, to be precise the engine is a twin port bridgeported, for the wheight of the buggy there is a lot of torque
I don't think this intake is till in production, holley and edelbrock are easier to tune ,I've used them in V8's,but Webers performs better and a well tuned efi performs best (my personal opinion)

I bet its fast. I have never seen an aftermarket intake that uses electronic ports. Maybe RB discontinued it. I was going to use the S5 lower intake with actuators for 5th and 6th ports and a custom manifold to an Edelbrock AVS2 500.

Update (incase anyone has the same issue);

I used a borescope and was able to read the cam identification markings stamped on the gear. I removed the generator pedestal and put the borescope down the oil filler hole in the crank case.
