Which one of these intake will be best for my TBI LO3. I have a non-egr performer and I have a stock alum. LG4 intake. I would really like to keep egr so I'll probably use the LG4 with the adapter. How much more flow capability does the perf. have over the stocker?

I won't dig up the web sites that show it, but I have seen in more that one place the performer will add around 10 horsepower or so on a stock LG4. I would think the same would be true for a LO3 with a carb.

I know I had the stock alluminum GM Q-jet manifold and that I would be satisfied. But I couldnt deal with knowing I may be able to get more HP with an aftermarket one. I went with the RPM performer. I do think it has made a noticeble difference, but even if it didn't I have piece of mind that I'm running the better manifold.
