According to Joe Sherman the Edelbrock Torker designed intake manifolds are among the worst products Edelbrock has put out.

Re: what do you think of this build
with that compression, aren't you going to need airplane fuel? Hope this sin't going to be a daily (or even weekend) driver with the price of gas!

Re: what do you think of this build
Performer RPM or RPM Air Gap - most on here rave about either, and they have the same height (ie hood clearance). I happen to have the RPM - it's what was on my motor when I bought it.

Re: what do you think of this build
I agree with the above posters. One you need to seriously reconsider that compression ratio for a street car. Two the Edelbrock RPM Airgap is a good intake manifold.
