Experience with the Performer intake?

Mr.C1, it sounds like the feature of the RPM airgap manifold to run rear heated coolant to the thermostat would realy help in your hot climate. Unless there is another way to do this. I would sure like to know about it. I plan to haul camper and tow in the summer and it gets 100 plus around here a lot. If there is a way to run that coolant from the dead spot at the rear of the motor up to the front and keep it flowing with a conventional manifold I would like to know.

My performer pulls good up to 6000 RPM's. Has snappy throttle response, and great low-mid range feel.

This is on a 350 with performer RPM heads, Comp cams 270H, and a stock Qjet.

I don't know what it would be like with the performer RPM EPS air gap , maybe someday I'll find out, but this one I got for 30.00 works great.

Too bad there's no such thing (as far as I know) as an air gap Performer. The RPM is simply too tall for this motor. I want the power band as low as possible.

I looked in the Summit catalog and I see the "Performer" air gap for idle to 5000 and the "RPM" air gap for 1000 to 6000 RPM. So there is a Performer model for the low end range Hmmmmmmmmmmmm?????

The Performer RPMs are generally for 1500-6500+, depending on how many cubes you've got.

The regular Performer is more of a stock RPM, about idle to 5500 from what I've read.

The RPM is quite a bit taller, too, which makes linkage an issue sometimes. It certainly would with my 700R4 linkage. Then there's hood clearance of course.
