Default Intake questions

I was just on the Edelbrock site.

What kind of gains could I expect from the Performer EPS?
Are their cams any good?


Also, the Performer Air Gap says it doesn't fit under a stock Corvette hood.
Even if you use a drop base air cleaner???? :confused:

Anyone have experience with Holley intakes?
How do they compare to the Edelbrocks?

It depends whether you put their stickers on your windows or not. :blueangel:

The Holley 300-36 is very good & may put more power under the curve than the RPM w/ L-82 cam.
The RPM fits under the 73-79 med. rise hood w/ Holley & drop base filter.

The L82 cam is actually a pretty good one. It was also used in the 350/350 hp engines of the late '60s.

How good is the cam?
