I'm back...Sort of... intake questions.

[Army_Dude]

Well it's been a long month. I have seen all I ever want to see of the Mojave desert. I got a little over a month before my long vacation.

Anyway, I developed an exhaust leak and have decided to go ahead and scrap all the smog gear and reaplce the manifolds with headers and swap intakes and carbs.

So, for those of you who don't know. It is an 85 with a new GM crate motor. I went on Summits website and quickly got lost with all the terms. What I basically want is a Edelbrock performer. I already got a 1406 edelbrock carb (freebie!) and my headers picked out. If someone with more knowledge than me (shouldnt be hard) would tell me which intake I should be looking at or at least narrow it down. I would like to order tomorrow, as I am quickly running out of weekends. Thanks guys!

Summit's best price on an intake that will fit your engine is part number SUM-226008. It's a Summit brand dual plane aluminum intake for $99.95. That's a little cheaper ($15) than the Edlebrock equivalent...which is part number EDL-2101

Depending on the price range you want, the eldebrock performer is a good choice, but for a little extra money the Performer RPM is a much better manifold. I've seen some test runs in Hot Rod magazine and the RPM gave 5-10 horse over the Performer. If you are worried about better low end torque with the Performer, the RPM will match or outperform the Perfromer.

I agree, the Performer RPM would be my choice. The power curve is a little higher and the performance is better than the Performer model.

So Summit part # EDL 7501 or 7101? Both are RPM models. Thanks guys.
