I Have been talking to a few people on helping me choose the right intake for my car. i right now have an 91 rs with stock 305. my plans are headers,exhaust lt1 cam, and go from tbi to carb. i am stuck on what manifold to chiooose. can u guys point me in the right direction.
some are saying this manifold wieand X-cellerator and some are saying the edelbrock rpm. what should i go for? please help me

 

watsup? ,my son-in-law ran a holley street dominator,750 holley with no probs.actually made descent power.his was a 91 rs 305 5speed also,plus you have a better cam than he did.later jimmy

 

Definitely not the Xcelerator. The Performer RPM is a tight fit under a stock hood and it won't bolt to your stock heads without modification.

If you're not changing the basic motor you really just need an entry-level aluminum intake designed for idle-5500 kind of RPM range and easy fit under the stock hood. Oh, and if it would fit the 87-up intake bolt pattern of your heads without modification that would be a plus.

Here's such an intake for reasonable money.....

Summit house brand intakes are all made by Weiand but with a Summit logo put on them in place of the Weiand logo.

 

why not the xcelerator? my boy told me to get that. now why shouldnt i get that?

 

Didn't you just make this thread over on the carb forum??

you asked this and already got answers. The rpm is a good manifold for your application, you will probably need a drop base air cleaner.

 

The Xcelerator is a single plane intake- you don't want that with a mild 305.

I stated why not the RPM. Go ahead and use it if you like, just be aware of the potential issues you will have putting it on your motor and fitting it under the hood.

I will stand by my recommendation, above.

Please don't double-post the same question in multiple forums in the future.

 

thanx for the help guys thanx

 

anytime killa,later jimmy
