Atomic “Viper” Intake
Manifold Kit
To take advantage of high flow rates of the DOHC
Ford cylinder head, Atomic have produced an
inlet manifold and fuel rail kit specifically
designed for high performance atmospheric or
turbo/blown applications.
The design of the “Viper” intake is based upon
the factory FG Ford “Turbo” manifold design,
which is radically different from the original
Ford BA-BF induction system. Our manifolds
feature extensive contour porting to rectify the
factory flow imbalances - our modified runners
have their lengths “tuned” to harness the
naturally occurring 2nd and 3rd order resonant
harmonics which assist in cylinder filling in
the 2500- 7500 RPM range. Combined with an
extensively modified plenum of only 2900cc, this
configuration provides even flow to all runners
(guaranteed to all be within 1%) at pressures up
to 80 lbs boost. This translates to crisp
response in NA or turbo engines as well as
facilitating a manageable “reservoir” of boost
pressure to feed the cylinders of force-fed
engines.
It only takes a flow imbalance of 6% to change
the AFR in a cylinder from 12.5:1 to 13.25:1,
which explains why some engines exhibit engine
damage to rods/pistons, yet AFR readings from
the tailpipe mounted O2 sensor reads a “safe”
value.
The manifold kit repositions the throttle body
110mm lower than a factory BA-BF manifold and
our kit is no wider than standard. This is often
a boon for engine swaps as it makes it easier to
install ducting to the intake.
Included with each manifold is a billet dual
feed fuel rail complete with AN fittings and a
throttle body spacer to accept a BA-BF
Drive-by-wire throttle body. A FG throttle body
will bolt straight up without the spacer.
