The Performer is no good.
By Royce P - 05/20/2006 4:50:51 PM; IP 69.38.18.226
Recent dyno tests showed the Edelbrock Performer was down approximately 70 HP compared to a Performer RPM or a Blue Thunder. Surprisingly it was also down on torque at any RPM compared to either of the more modern dual plane manifolds.

The Blue Thunder is not a radical intake. It will work fine on a mild engine even with a stock 2V cam. The engine being tested was a mild 428. The Blue Thunder produced tons of low end and mid range torque. It would be a good choice for your 352 with a 600 CFM Holley or Edelbrock carb.
