Experience with the Performer intake? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I've got a stock 402 in my '72 C20 now, but picked up a Performer 2-0 (regular Performer) intake at a swap meet recently. It's called a "stock replacement" by Edelbrock. It appears everything (linkage, etc.) will bolt up easily, but should I expect any performance improvement over the factory manifold?

Anyone have any experience with this?

I realize the aluminum will dissipate heat a little better and will be lighter, but what about power improvements? I'm not looking for high RPM increases, just improved performance in the range that I'll use it as a pickup: idle to about 5200 RPM.
