I currently have a edelbrock performer hi rise intake.....and my stock hood hits the air cleaner...my buddy has an edelbrock rpm intake. Would this solve my prob? Is that a good swap? The performer for the rpm? I've heard guys on here telling people to switch from performer to rpm. Thanks

Before you can make a decision, you need to understand what you have now better.

There's no such thing as a
Either it is a Performer, or it is not a Performer.

The Performer is basically a stock replacement piece. The Performer RPM series is VERY DIFFERENT; those are basically entry-level race manifolds with acceptable street characteristics as well. The Perf RPM Air-Gap is in fact a better racing manifold in some race applications than some other pure race manifolds.

Visit the height specs links for each manifold to see about differences in height among their various products.

Well thank you sir. It is a performer because it says so on top...I just thought it was hi rise cause it sticks up so high? Does the rpm do this as well? I haven't seen it yet.

I looked at the link and it looks like i have the performer air gap series.

Well...

When you went looked at the height specs, did you find the RPM is lower, or not?

Sorry I guess I didn't see the height. Specs just the pics...I look again

Ok...it looks like the performer air gap is significantly shorter and a pretty good street intake. thank-you.
