Default Intake manifolds, suggestions?

I have heard the Edelbrock Air Gap manifold is a great manifold. i am in the market for a new one, and im aiming for low end torque.

I'd suggest getting the weiand dual plane action plus, accepts either stock, or aftermarket carbs and is apparently bigger then the edlebrock performer.. :yesnod: And you car is almost an exact replica of mine :p: i just need new pictures up of my spoilers installed and painted

The 1st issue of C-3 Manifolds is: Will it fit under the hood? Performance issues are 2nd......I dont know whether an Air Gap will fit or not.....Am sure someone will be along to let you know.......mine fits....Barely, and I had to use an Edelbrock "Drop Top" AirCleaner to make it fit. Hard to tell by your Sig what mods you have done, but dont expect much from just a manifold change. Did see on 2nd glance that you have an L-88 hood, so clearance shouldnt be an issue........

I have no problem with hood clearance, because i have an L-88 hood. i cant do tunnel-ram or anything but thats for high rpm anyway.

Air-gap is for high rev applications from what I understand. Probably not the best choice for low end torque.
