What intake? Holley 750

I recently landed a 90 RS body to put my 350 that has just been sitting in my garage in. Right now it's got an Edelbrock Performer manifold with a Holley 550 on it. I've got a Holley 750 that I want to use, but I'm not sure what manifold to go with. I was looking at Edelbrock's website and there are a seemingly endless number of choices. I'm certainly looking more for low ETs than I am for top speed.

Thanx,
Will

P.S. I'm expecting to have to buy a new hood.

The intake needs to be matched to your cam, not carb. The 750 would work with the Performer just fine, provided the power bands of the cam and Performer complemented each other.

Tell us what cam you're running, and better advice can be given towards the intake choice (Weiand Stealth manifolds are nice, though... ).

Yep, cam choice is important. The Weiand Stealth will probably work for ya' though--I like mine...

Im runnin a vic JR intake but the important thing about an intake is to match your cam and stall converter. Give summit tech a call or someone who builds race cars. Do not make the mistake of buying a big intake that does not match...this will ruin your performance (I have made this mistake once before). P.S your cam specs will say the power band.
