Butler Performance Inc. » Hurricane/Tomahawk
Premium Hurricane Tomahawk Intake Manifolds
To completely open up your high-RPM breathing capabilities, Butler Performance provides race-ready Hurricane Tomahawk intake manifolds precision-engineered for peak induction efficiency.
Our online catalog features single-plane isolated runners, lightweight aluminum castings, expanded plenum options, and premium matching installation hardware. These single-plane designs bolt cleanly to traditional deck heights, ensuring massive volumes of air and fuel reach your combustion chambers without turbulence or restriction.
Benefits of Upgrading to a Single-Plane Casting
Upgrading to a dedicated single-plane aluminum manifold eliminates top-end flat spots and maximizes your peak horsepower ceiling. You receive balanced fuel distribution across all intake ports, crisp mid-to-high throttle response, reduced engine weight, and a significant boost in high-RPM acceleration. This setup allows your built motor to pull continuously through the entire length of the drag strip without running out of breath.
Maximize Your Top-End Horsepower
Do not let a restrictive street manifold choke down the explosive power your built motor is capable of producing. Explore our online selection of single-plane performance manifolds and premium performance carb accessories to complete your high-performance induction system.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I run this single-plane manifold on a daily-driven vehicle with low rear axle gears?
While single-plane configurations deliver incredible performance past three thousand rotations per minute, they reduce low-end air velocity compared to dual-plane options. If your cruiser features tall highway gears and a low stall converter, a dual-plane design might provide better low-speed driving comfort.
Does this single-plane aluminum casting clear factory muscle car hood lines?
Because these high-flowing runners utilize a raised open plenum design, the overall carburetor mounting pad sits higher than standard low-profile factory castings. Checking your internal hood clearance and selecting a drop-base air cleaner assembly will prevent structural clearance issues with your hood's skin.
Will standard distributor housings clear the rear crossover section of the casting?
Yes, the rear section of the casting is contoured to provide plenty of physical space for large-body electronic distributors or standard point housings. You can drop in and adjust your timing settings without worrying about cap or vacuum advance interference.
Does the intake assembly feature an integrated exhaust crossover path for cold-weather driving?
No, this performance casting eliminates the factory exhaust crossover channel to maximize horsepower potential. Keeping exhaust heat completely out of the plenum structure ensures the air and fuel charge stays as cool and dense as possible for maximum combustion power.
