Default Edelbrock Performer RPM

I was in Pep Boys buying a jack the other day, and I saw the Edelbrock Performer RPM Intake Manifold sitting on the shelf for $129. So I was thinking, there must be something wrong with this thing if it's on the shelf at Pep Boys and costs so little. It claims that it'll add power to my engine, but for I'm hesitant to believe it. Does anybody know if these things are any good?

I didn't know Edelbrock made a Performer RPM TB for our cars? I thought they contracted with BBK to make one (which I've heard SUCKS!) :confused:

Oh I'm sorry it was an Intake Manifold, not a Throttle Body.

you probably won't see any gains from just changing your TB, i have tons of mods and went back to a stock one, so far so good :D :cheers:

So you want to swap out your fuel injection for a carb? Or has that already been done? If you are going to do it that is a very good intake. I have used them on a few things now and they always give good power all arround.
