Intake Manifold Choice?
I have come to the reality that I am never going to get to the performance level I would like with my engine using an Edelbrock Performer Intake. It appears that I have three choices, and would appreciate any imput from members on which is best?
GM 12366573- Edelbrock 7116 Performer RPM, or Victor Jr 2912.
Thanks for your help.

Bud,
I saw your other post on crate motors.My 2 cents is build your own.The Fastburns have a relatively weak exhaust port near forcing you into a dual pattern cam which by itself is not bad but GM is supposed to be making a 2nd design is what I hear.
The Victor JR has been proven to be a very usable hot street manifold.It would be my choice. But also a Iron Dart Pro 1 would be my choice as well for durability.Many will differ in opinions on Iron vs Aluminum
If you do decide to run a Vortec style head,take a look at the Edelbrock Etec 200's.The flow numbers speak for themselves.The pricing is good as well.Going to need some motor under them though.
