Re: what do you think of this build

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.

Re: what do you think of this build

i think im going to switch to these heads
Brodix 1028100 - Brodix CNC-Ported Wild Thing KC IK 210 Cylinder Heads for Small Block Chevy Part Number: BRO-1028100

so what would be a good c/r my choices are 11.8:1, 10.3:1, 9.2:1, 9.6:1, 10:1, 9:1, 8.3:1, 10.2:1 for 76cc chamber

or with the heads i had on the c/r choices would be 11.6:1, 10.3:1, 10.7:1, 11.4:1, 10:1, 9.1:1, 11.6:1, 13.7:1 for 65cc chamber

thats with piston dish/dome +5, +16, +12, +7, +18, +28, +5.4, -7 consecutively on both
