HEY NJ SPEEDER IS THE EDELBROCK TBI MANIFOLD WORTH IT?
I am not nj speeder but I will still reply.
Before I put on the edelbrock tbi manifold I had a full exhaust, chip, msd ignition, and ult. tbi mods. After installing it, my ET's dropped about .20 and I gained 3mph in the 1/4 mi. On a stock engine I don't know how much it will help but it sure helped me, moving the power band down alittle to where I feel it in everyday driving.

The intake isn't made just to swap on with no other mods. It was designed to go with Edelbrocks power package, which for a 305 includes the intake and a cam. They work together.
i did the intake along with the heads and the 1.6 rockers. i knocked a full sec off of my ets and added about 4 mph to my trap speeds. i have seen other people use just the intake by itself and pick up a couple tenths and add between 1 and 1.5 mph. the big gain was the throttle response, it became a lot more snappy than stock.
i am avoiding going to a single plane as long as i can. i like having the power band as low in the rpm band as possible. the big test of the performer tbi will be when i change cams. with the stocker still in place i think the torquer would be a waste, too much volume, not enough velocity. at least that is what the math i have done is telling me.
