Stick to the Edelbrock.
By Dave Shoe - 05/01/2002 5:53:03 PM; IP 12.2.11.131
The 1958-65 iron intake design is good for quiet cruising and basic road jostling, but it sits pretty low and makes the air turn corners pretty hard to get to the heads.

I'm not fond of the Edelbrock Performer intake (non-RPM version), or the earlier version of the same thing the Edelbrock 390, but if you've got it you might as well use it in place of the stock iron. It does sit a little higher for a straighter shot and probably has a better flowing plenum under the carb. The runners are what bite, in my opinion (I've never used one of these intakes, so my info is basically BS).

If you want some easy horsepower in the future, just replace the intake with a MR-era performance intake or RPM.
