Does anyone know which intake - the Edelbrock Performer RPM or the Weiand Stealth shows bigger numbers on a 302? I'm running a hydraulic roller with about 228/234 degrees of duration at .05. Flat tops and Windsor Jr. heads. All in an '86 GT with a T5.Any idea if either of these intakes will clear a stock hood with something like a drop-based Ford Motorsport air cleaner? Thanks, Todd ------------------

it should be ok. I have a 460 in a 93 coupe
with a victor intake on it and I can almost
use a stock hood. I dont know about the air cleaner but I think it will be ok.
not trying to tell you what to do but it
sounds like you need a bigger camshaft
something like 240s or 250s at 50 with like
540s to 560s in lift if im wright that sounds
like a motorsport's cam maby a e303 or an x
any way I think most will agree if you go with that intake and your heads with flat tops it will need a bit more cam in my openioun. thank you Jeremy

I would go with the Weiand Stealth, I have ran all 4 intakes, Edelbrock RPM, Weiand Stealth, air gap and Victor Jr. The best dual plane intake is the air gap. All of them except for the victor jr will fit under a stock hood. The Victor will fit only if you have lowered motor mounts------------------

Are you suggesting the Weiand manifold based on performance level or hood clearance? It sounds like you're promoting the Performer RPM Air-Gap as the best "performing" of the dual-plane intakes...Thanks, Todd ------------------

I have tried the Performer rpm and Weiand action plus with a one inch spacer and noticed no difference.
