They sure do look good.
I asked Edlebrock the same question,they said to stay with the RPM intake for a mild-hot street motor.

302 or 351W?

The 302AG is pretty much just like the RPM, but with an Air Gap.

The 351W AG is much taller than the RPM (same height as a Vic jr) and is a little larger inside.

The larger and/or wilder the engine, the more it will like the Air-Gap intake. (if it's a 351W)

Ronnie, I would take a look at the Weiand Stealth intake manifold. I've used it in the past and really really like it. I personally think its much better the performer and air gap.

I have a friend running a 1985 Mustang .030 over stock stroke 351w running mid to high 10 with a hydraulic roller cam.


*Edit*
In fact, I'm going to give it a shot on my 14.5:1 351w that currently has a Victor Jr. The guy that has the 85 stang tried the Victor Jr and the car lost .2 in the 1/4.
