Spent much of last Feb. doing dyno testing and finding out what you can't do with SU's on a stock manifold. Essentially, with our street performance cam, ported head, etc., could not get the engine to produce power over 5300 rpm without modifications to the stock AL manifold. Had to do with tuned length, pulses, etc. Necassary modifications include soft mounts, spacers, reduction of the balance tube area - all things that have been done for years on pure race applications using SU's. Also happened to discover that there are at least two internal shapes of the SU AL intakes, and one flows significantly better than the other.
