definately a good seat of the pants gain, i think edelbrock claims liek 20hp or so over teh stock intake.

so your saying its deffinetly a nicely noticeable gain? personaly i dont believe it. im installing one in my frends 89 305 formula, and i wanted to know if its a good investment for mine. but iff you say so then awsome! any other comments???:lala:

 

I think the edelbrock performer seems to be the favorite
amoungst most of the L03 members. I am leaning towards it
myself.

Side note : Edelbrock estimates a 20TQ gain if you use their
entire power package.

(Unfortunately, the graph doesn't show HP gains)

 

Dont buy the power package. I just posted about the cam that comes with it.......its worse than whats in our LO3's apperantly. Just buy the manifold.

 

that manifold better not be under your hood when i return fromt he west coast. its going under the hood of my bird

 

So what you are telling me is that the "power package" results are in fact almost 100% a result of the Mnifold swap. (I like those numbers)

 

the cam that comes in the power package is better than our cam, but it is not a roller cam, the power package is made for trucks that have flat tappet camshafts.

 

Yuk

 

The power package comes with heads too.

Why not get a carb manifold?

 

I'm still trying to see where that gives me an advantage.
Do Carb manifolds have more volume ? I think I can locate
one with EGR privisions.

 

I installed that intake on my 305 TBI and I didn't notice much difference at all really. I noticed more up top but I didnt know much from idle to 4k above 4k it did make a difference tho.
