RE: New Weiand Stealth Intake

The Weiand Stealth intake for the FE is a very different manifold than the ones for other engines and is not the best choice for a performance-oriented FE engine. The RPM manifold is part of your package. The ports match the MR head port design and it works as advertised. To opine on another issue in what you've written...That is a rather small cam for the heads. You could have done quite well with that cam and the stock un-modified heads. Nothing wrong with the extra ventilation of the Edelbrock heads no matter what cam you're using but you're throwing away so much of the head's potential by using what is essentially an RV grind. If not for the issue of pressure drop in the port mismatch, I would say to go with the Performer390 manifold you already have since it more closely matches your engine's operating range with that cam.
