Default intake question

I'am screwing my engine togeather as soon as it gets back from being ballanced and am wondering if an edelbrock air gap will fit under the hood or should I get a performer??? I will be using a comp. cam XE256 and running 9:1 comp. single exhaust w/a cat. I also pocket ported the ...882 heads and matched the ports :yesnod:

There was just a thread about this. I believe the answer is "yes, but..." I think you have to run a radically dropped air cleaner base with a very slim air cleaner.

Then the RPM is not for you as it does not have a provision for a EGR Valve unless I have been living in a cave and they now offer one
