Default Intake...

Ok, I think I really need to be running the Performer RPM instead of the standard Performer but obviously hood clearence is the problem.

How many of you were able to make this work? What was your configuration?

Anyone use the Performer EPS or know anything about it?

Im running a performer RPM with a 650 cfm Speed Demon carb and it just fit under my stock 79s L-48 hood, the only thing i needed to do was get a drop base air filter, id recommend that you go with a performer RPM to cut down on all the smog equipment and help free up flow to the engine. My .02

Well, I'm having a 383 built and there's no smog equipment on the car so I should be good to go.

I just keep hearing that the Performer RPM won't fit and I won't be spinning the engine hard enough to justify a single plane.

The performer RPM is a dual plane intake, and it fit fine on my car. Whoever is saying that a performer RPM is a single plane intake doesnt know what he/she is talking about.

By the way im running a performer RPM on a stock L-48 with only a wilder cam and a better carb, but otherwise the stock bottom end and heads. I think you should have NO problems running it on a 383.
