Default Should i swap my ZZ intake for Performer RPM?

I have to replace my intake gaskets this weekend and was thinking about a Performer RPM Air Gap. Just wondering if it would be worth the extra time & $$'s. Also, will this fit under my stock hood with a drop base cleaner?

I plan on doing that eventually when I get the money. I also want to convert the stamped steel rocker arms to full rollers.

I dont think it would be worth it. GM is pretty good at putting motors together :)

I didn't think the ZZ intake fit under a stock hood? Is yours a stock hood?

If fits just fine. I am running the ZZ4 with a Q-Jet (pretty tall carb) and the stock air cleaner set up. I don't think it sits any higher than the original motor, maybe 1/2" higher.

The Air Gap would be great out here in 110+ land. But we would need to know the measurement from the carb. pad down to where the intake mounts to the block at the lifter valley.
