Intake manifolds?

Which intake manifold do you guys think would be best for my new 357 Solid Roller motor. It is going into my street driven
82 Z-28 as seen in my sig!

I have:

XR-274R-12 Solid Roller cam
Pro Iron Lighting 64 cc., 200; cc 2.08", 1.60"
9.7:1 C.R.
Weiand Water Pump
Electric fan
No Emissions equip.

I was think about the Weiand Stealth, is anybody familar with the ebelbrock air-gap. Has have any info on the new!! Edelbrock EPS Manifold. It supposedly is pretty good with max torque at 3500rpm. How about a single plane?

EPS yuck only power to 5500.

ZupmanZ28 just got the air gap I believe...

The Stealth is good for the money idle-6800 rpms.

The Weiand Stealth is an excellent all around intake manifold. That's what I would run in your case.

ME Leigh,

If you haven't purchased your water pump yet, don't get the Weiand. It may work well, but get a Stewart Water pump instead. Best on the market, bar-none, and probably a little bit cheaper!

Think the website is http://www.stewartcomponents.com

Other than that, I have a Weiand Action plus on my 305 and am pleased with it. I got it used for like $60 or something.

How about one of these.

The hi-rise Typhoon or Cross Wind (airgap) look s good to me.
