I've been searching info on intakes a lot lately. I know of the Edelbrock's the Performer is the best intake for a stock longblock. I also know that for a future combo that I'm looking into (331 or 347 w/ AFR 185's) the RPM II would be best of the Edelbrock's (While still being emissions legal). I just wanted to let you guys know that I did search a lot and I understand the basic idea of things.
Now to my questions. I notice a lot of people saying that with the RPM II that you will lose bottom end on the stock longblock. I'm wondering what this is in relation to. Will I have less bottom end than with the stock intake on there? Or will it just be a little less than with the Performer?
Any suggestions and input would be greatly appreciated. Just keep in mind that this will be a mostly street driven car for the time being and once the motor is swapped. It will see occasional track time and mostly just for fun and not actual competitions where every tenth counts. I'm really open to either of these intakes but I want to buy the right one the first time with the future in mind (Porting the Performer is also an option once I switch motors if that would be the way to go too). Thanks.
