Edelbrock Performer

silvertonguedevil · 09-23-2004, 01:22 AM

Wait, what was the question again??

FRENCHBLUE72 · 09-23-2004, 01:23 AM

RPM AIR GAP IF YOU CAN AFFORT IT.. I have the regular performer on my crate 350 and I can't complain as it work's well through out the power band of the engine..

68w/sbc406 · 09-23-2004, 01:23 AM

I think you have the same 350 I have been considering(zz4 block ). I want to use the air gap even if it is just for the looks of it. just some thing cool about an intake u can see through.

67shortie · 09-23-2004, 05:51 AM

Actually the regular RPM manifold with an oil splash sheild under it will work just as well as the 'air gap' performer if you wanted to save a few $$ and keep the heat off of the manifold runners.

My vote goes for the RPM non air gap with the iol splash shield ($12 at your local Chevy dealer).

K5KRAZIE · 09-23-2004, 06:07 AM

The vortecs will love your new air gap performer.

*1972C10* · 09-23-2004, 06:30 AM

I belive i would get a professional products intake I belive them to be as good as edelbrocks and alot cheaper price you can catch them on ebay pretty cheap sometimes

The performer Rpm CLone is called a typhoon i think?

and the rpm air gap is called a cross wind. check it out its good stuff and comes polished for only 30 bucks or so more.

Tx Firefighter · 09-23-2004, 11:12 AM

There have been some quality issues with the Professional Products intakes in the past. A few guys have gotten porous ones.

zooza · 09-23-2004, 03:31 PM

does professional products sell online? do they have a site?

stepside454 · 09-23-2004, 06:20 PM

I refuse to use Proffesional Products, there a copy cat company, Ive talked to them before, nothing proffesional about them.

*1972C10* · 09-24-2004, 02:16 AM

So far the stuff i have seen has been 10-8 Here is their website

Thanks for all the input guys. I just brought home the RPM Air Gap. I figured this would leave me a little room to grow if i decided to step up the cam and spring package and hopefully not suffer too much on the bottom for now. I have the Performer RPM on my set up right now with stock heads and a mild cam and it feels strong on the bottom.
