Does anyone have any input as to the lowest intake that is still a performer for a 302, auto,with low gears. Might be autocrossed and that's about it as far as racing, maybe an occasional red light drag. Also this is going in an MGB. thanks mike

Mike,
If overall heighth is a problem, the Edelbrock Performer, not the RPM model, is a step above the stock cast iron. The throttle bore openings are smaller than the RPM model but will work for your application up to 5000 rpms. Plus sufficient low end torque.Mike

If your setting up for autocross, you'll need torque coming out of the corners a lot more than top end horsepower. That means you want high fuel/air velocities at low rpm. The Performer should give you that.

Hey Mike,Your post sure brings back some memories. My Dad and I put a HIPO 289 in a 66 MGB and drag raced it for a few years when I was growing up. Lots of work but it sure was fun at the strip. Lennie ------------------
