RE:another point of view

I've run both at various performance levels. While the RPM will do a good job at the low-rpm levels, the Performer will do it better on a milder engine intended to operate efficiently at lower rpm. It also doesn't do too bad at the top of its rpm range. Yes, the RPM will out-flow the Performer at the upper rpm range. No question about it.

The Performer also has an exhaust heat crossover which, if you drive the car on the street in cold climates, makes a huge difference.

I agree that if you're using a run of the mill iron four barrel intake now, you're not going to see a dramatic difference in going to the Performer other than trimming 70 lbs off the nose of the car.

You'll also find that the Performer is much cheaper than the RPM.

Unless you're looking for more power over 4,000 rpm (and you have the cam and head flow to support that) my opinion is that the Performer is a better choice.
This thread, so far...
