New Intake Purchase

If im correct, you will have problems useing the
air gap rpm, as for the intake is kinda tall.
what year model you working on, a little more info
would help a great deal

The SBC RPM intakes are very similiar & same heights. Properly set up you can expect similiar performance. For many years, performance enthusiasts have run blocked heat risers & added a lifter valley baffle for a cooler intake. The divider is sometimes cut down for hotter setups.
Trying an open spacer can help determine if you want a cut divider.
More info. on your setup is needed- C.I., trans. (converter) gears, etc.
