carb manifold opinions
 

here goes -
I am putting ported E7TE's on my stock 115k mile short block this winter along with 1.7 roller rockers and keeping the stock cam. this car is not raced, just a good weather, fun car that is never taken above 5500 rpm. here is my question, what intake would give me more all-around performance. Performer/Performer RPM/Weiand Stealth are what I have been thinking of...if you have these or have knowledge, gimme your opinions.

thanks

I'd try the Weiand Stealth. Thats what I'll be using next race season. Dual plane, great for low end and very affordable.

'93 lx notch 4 banger (drive it to work currently), Using the 306, 8.8 posi, 4.10's, summit rear cover, elec. fan, cowl hood, wieand stealth intake, holley 650 d.p.carb., built c-4, e-303, full autometer guages, msd box, mallory unilite dist, and coil, roll cage, summit seat, subs, 15x10's in the back with slicks, skinnies up front, all in use for 1988 Hatch Drag Car. Hope to start running next year. Hoping for 7.20's after all is done with small motor.

I was really thinkin' of going with the Stealth just to be different - it seems that everybody runs performers.

any more opinions?

I will add that I currently have 3.08's...

I have not tried the Stealth, but have had excellent results with the RPM.

Take care

Friend of mine runs a victor jr. intk, but you said you will stay under 5500 rpms, just thought id mention, it had lots of power, even down low, peak powerband was in the 5500+6000 range, of course the nos helped http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/biggrin.gif

I ran a performer on my 83 and liked it. Good all around power

what year? if you need to keep the EGR, go for the performer.. FWIW, on my car, stock cam, 1.7's 600 holley and AFR heads, I lost .2 and 2mph in the 1/4 going from a performer to the RPM... go figure...

and a '68 stang that WAS nasty ;-)

I just switched back to the performer rpm from the vic jr intake and I picked up a lot of power that I lost with the vic jr. My car with the 302 ran a 12.5@109 with the performer rpm intake.

No good times with 347 stroker yet!

71 Chevelle: 350 c.i., 10:1 compression, hydraulic cam, Barry Grant 750 DP, Edelbrock Performer RPM manifold, port matched to the heads, plenum notched and smoothed. About 3400 pounds plus me @ 220, ran 11.97 @ 111.5mph. Shifted @ 6200 but it had great torque down below.

thanks guys

some info - it will be a stock 82 5.0 shortblock that currently has a 1985 4 barrel intake (82 gt's came with a two barrel) and a Carter AFB. I don't care if I lose a little bit down low (it has alot of torque) as long as it is smooth 2000-5700 or so (I'm rethinkin' the RPM now that I'll have new valve springs...)

keep the opinions comin'

I'd agree with you. Performer RPM. If not that, then the Performer.
