    Although most of the engine builders told me no, i have to include that the VICTOR JR intake is only 1 inch higher than the RPM INTAKE

    Another choice is to go back to the 2 barrel:naughty:


    So here we go real quick, please select one ONLY if you have knowlege of these please.
    all specs are in my sig. thanks

    What rpm do you expect to be cruising? If less than 3000-3500 then use a dual plane. The single plan is for high rpm or all out racing and are a slug at lower rpm

    None of the above. My money's on the tried and true Ford A321 and all it's predecessors (F4B, Cobra highrise, Ford C9OX) But the RPM will work just as well, as will a Weiand Stealth on your motor. The std Performer is nothing more than an aluminum version of the old stock iron 4 bbl small block intake.

    i voted RPM cause dats wat i gotz.... seriously though you will need a 1" tall k&n with a drop filter base to clear a grabber hood, and 2" should work with std hood with the RPM.... has been good to me so far.

    I run a RPM on my 302 and it works well enough to run 11.40's.
