Re: edelbrock performer rpm (jetjock32)
I just brought the performer rpm Q-jet manifold for my car and was also wondering what drop base air cleaners would fit under my stock small block hood. I remember from past posts that you need to run at least a 2" drop base and nothing bigger then a 3" filter. Some people say that If you get a 350hp 69 air cleaner or 70 LT1 air cleaner they are 2" drop bases and will fit. Does anyone have any K&N part numbers for a drop base that they have used? Also is the K&N extreme lid worth getting?
Thanks
Kevin

Re: edelbrock performer rpm (jetjock32)
I bought a drop base from a performance center here in town, But I use a 14 inch 3 inches tall K&N filter with a K&N extreme top. I still dont get the airflow I need for the perforance I want. I tried a 9inch but I didn't like it myself. I still have it if anyone interested.

Re: edelbrock performer rpm (jetjock32)
I did it with my stock 350/350 drop base (2") and a 3" K&N with xtreme lid. I also milled the choke tower off..If you don't you'll find the top of the tower sitting near the lid. 1/4" clearance on top to hood. Mine is a stock SB hood. also I have the RPM Air Gap, but that is the same as the RPM in height.

I have TFS angle plug heads and am using Dynomax headers. No problems reaching any of the plugs.

Re: edelbrock performer rpm (munday)
How expensive are the K&N complete drop base set ups?
69vette66,
If your set up fits a Q-jet I might be interested in it.
Thanks

FYI, I have the same K&N drop base with Xtreme lid on my 350 with a Speed Demon 650. No clearance problems.

Get Dynomax coated headers.
If you are doing the Edelbrock RPM package w/ cam, you need a manual trans. or high stall converter.
