Weiand or Edelbrock?
I am going to upgrade my stock intake on my 72. The car is pretty much stock except for headers and a set of flow masters. I was wondering if anyone had any opinions on the weiand stealth manifold or the edelbrock performer or performer rpm? Hood clearance is not a problem(L-88 hood) I am just loooking for some added power. Thanks in advance

I have the RPM/AIRGAP....love it.
I have had performers in the past...they also were great.
here is a pic of mine http://temp.corvetteforum.net/c3/ylo...nerebuild2.jpg
I know some guys run the WEIAND and like them too, but I have no hands
on with those intakes.

dman535. I have the same set up on the "L383". Everything works super. Even glad i went with the Edelbrock carb instead of the Holley 750dbl pump. JCL :cool: :cool: :chevy "Sidepipes are the way"

I would say go with an Air-Gap Performer. You still get the good low end throttle responce. And there are ways to keep the air-gap manifold cooler, keeping your intake chage cooler and adding HP. just my 2 cents

Re: Weiand or Edelbrock? (Greggz72)
You would be fine w/ non egr intake like Performer 2101, Weiand Stealth or Action +. Go w/ RPM since hood clearance is no problem.
What it probably really needs is another cam.
Needed for cam - which engine, trans. & rear gears.

Went with the stealth for hood clearance problems. Both the Stealth and Edl RPM will rev nicely past 6K. Here's a pic for you to ponder over, hope you like it.

Re: Weiand or Edelbrock? (tnt76vette)
Weiand "Action Plus" works for me.....$15-20 cheaper than any other around here....Pleez tell me why a "Stealth" is better as I am confused... :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:
The Stealth has a larger plenum and runner volume. Great for higher horsepower combos. The 8004 Action + has smaller plenum & runners which is good for low end. I've read good things about the 8004 manifold. I think it matches you upgrades well. Now go do the heads and change your forum name to "BOOM76vette" :D

Re: Weiand or Edelbrock? (Greggz72)
I'm a Holley/Weiand guy myself. I vote Stealth.
But, like other people have said, you probably won't notice much of a performance difference between the two. It pretty much boils down to which logo you like better. :lol:
