What Manifold do you recomend

Originally i was going to use a Q-Jet but i recently traded for a Holley 4160. I was thinking of using eighter a Weiand Stealth, Weiand xcelerator, or a Edlebrock EPS. The car is goind to be a daily driver and im going to build a mild 350 and planning on running a little spray later on and im keeping the T5 Trans. Im not going to twist it that much probably 6500 at the most so whats the manifold you recomend

EPS is not bad for a basically stock engine that won't spin past 5000.

If you are going to spray it and spin it past 5500 or 6000, I'd strongly recomend a Edelbrock RPM - it will make plenty of power, and you won't lose any driveability. It should fit just fine under the stock hood with a drop base air cleaner too.

RPM will fit under the stock Camaro or Firebird hood. Just need to use a 14x3 drop base air cleaner. Mine will have an RPM Air Gap under the stock Z28 hood in the spring, and a friend of mine has an Air Gap under a stock Trans Am hood right now.

I already run a 14x3 drop base air cleaner on my tbi setup. But also when i put the juice to it i have to use a 1/2 sprayer plate.

RPM Air Gap. Best dp intake on the market hands down. Mine fits under stock TA hood with 1/2" spacer and 14x3" filter.

I vote for the RPM, but get the air gap.

I have a 350HO, RPM intake, 1405 carb, a 3x14 K&n, and it all fits under the hood.

about 1/4 inch to spare it seams...

I recomend the Stealth over the standard RPM intake but either would work and should clear the factory hood. The stealth seems to have a bit more low end grunt. The new street dominator I havent tried yet but I did use the old SP one for a bit and it was fairly nice.

I think you will be satisfied with the street dominator intake. it offers a wide rpm range and also minimizes the risk of worrying bout your hood clearance.i ran one of these for 3 yrs till i decided to move onword and i liked how it performed
