Default Intake manifolds

I’m watching motortrend,and never paid much attention to this particular show Engine Masters,but they always comparing products,today is Edelbrock versus Holley intake manifolds dual plane the performer on edelbrock,but the Holley doesn’t have a chance,the Performer out performed Holley not even close,oh and they said they had to make all kinds of changes to get it tuned correctly.

Which Edelbrock intake and which Holley intake? Holley hasn't designed an intake in 30+ years......all of their intakes are at least an early 90's design.......

Not sure does terminator sound right,the edelbrock was performer.and this was carburetor not sure which one,this was just a test on the manifolds so,I presume they using the same carburetor,now this is a test,so test was for torque and hp at high rpm,Next they were going to test single plane intake,I quit watching it,but I just bought a car out my norm,1972 GTO,and it has a high rise edelbrock intake,with a Holley dual feed carburetor,lol.I can tell right now the carburetor needs tuning.never had a Holley.
