Performer VS. Performer RPM
 

I was wondering which upper intake do you guys think will be better for my application. The Edelbrock Performer or the Performer RPM. I know they say the RPM is for upper RPM over 5000 but it also says for Nitrous applications. I will be spraying a 150 shot with the possibility of 200-225. What do you guys think. Thanks in advance
P.S. I shift at 6000-6100.

By the way I also have CNC ported heads and a E-cam. Thanks, Again

Any opinions??

Go with the Performer RPM

Performer is made for running from idle to 5500, RPM is 1500 to 6500. If you're shifting at 6000 or 6100 then I'd say get the RPM.

I have the RPM and it's great. I don't know the difference between it and a Performer because I've never ran a Performer. Oh yeah, but there's a slight difference between our engines, mine's carbed. So I can't tell you which one is better for you, but I'd guess the RPM for your application and driving habits.

I can't say anything about which would be better for your setup, but I can tell you that I know a couple of guys who bought RPM's for nearly stock vehicles and did not lose any considerably low end torque.

Thanks Guys, I wanted to switch to the RPM and now I will. It always makes me feel better when other racers agree with me.

By the way I meant a B-CAM with 1.7's
(I think I've been around to much N20)

your shifting to high. have u tried shifting at around 5k? I dont think you will lose any time on your ET, but you will save engine wear.

To my opinion... Perf. RPM worth 15-20 more
HP (naturally asp.) with 6300-6500 RPM
shifting. It souds really free flow to me
, maybe too much for 302CI but enough
for nitro(150 hp)
