350 base HO intake

I was curious what i should go with. It recommends carb but i thought maybe I could throw the holley stealth ram on top. So what would get more power?

If your referring to the GMPP 350HO you can't use the Holley steath ram because the 350HO has vortec heads, and the HSR is designed for standard non-vortec heads.

A carburator is a much more cost effiecent solution. An aftermarket fuel injection system will make about the same power a carburated setup does, they just cost about 4 times as much.

As far as i know, there are three aftermarket FI choices for vortec heads.

-SDPC TPI base plate for stock TPI setups

-Edelbrock sells a vortec specfic injection setup.

- and the miniram III will fit vortec heads.

as for carburated intake manifolds,

the edelbrock performer RPM, and performer RPM air-gap are great choices, just make sure you get the vortec specfic manifold

im running a performer RPM air-gap on my 350HO and couldn't be happier with it.

as five7 said, the deluxe version comes with a carb(holley 600 vac. sec.), and is pre-assembled, takes all the guess work out. but if your going to buy the base 350HO, from what i hear, holley 650 vac sec, or a 650dp would work pretty well. im running an edelbrock 600, and i want to switch to a 650dp, the edelbrock has great street manners, but i think it would make more power with a properly tuned holley.
