Single Plane - Why and When?

Single Plane - Why and When?
I'm seeing quite a few of these conversions at the track.
I'm just a little fuzzy on the purpose of the conversion.
It seems like a good way to extend runner length (for higher revving engines?)
You'd have to be revving beyond 7200 to really gain from this, wouldn't you?
Or is there something else I am missing?

Most commonly done when guys have too much money and not enough understanding.
Why is because they are easily manipulated by marketting strategies of bench racers.
The single plane frankly is a little better BUT guys are jumping on that bandwagon WAY WAY too soon, better left to the racecars. Been proven 500rwhp is achievable with lightly worked LT1 intakes so take the $1000 savings and put it elsewhere till you are running 9s NA or some other such serious setup.
Yes we take inspiration from racecars but that does not mean everyting done to racecars should be done to our dual purpose cars.

I searched a number of forums about this subject recently. The single plane appears to offer some advantage over the LT1 manifold at higher power levels. Some of the faster LT1 drag cars use the single planes. I'm still learning about this and some of the good technical books are not all that easy to understand the first time through.
