I need an opinion for a 4 barrel manifold for 390

By Steve M - 03/09/2004 4:36:45 AM; IP 209.115.87.2

I searched the forum for opinions and found a couple, I have a stock 1970 390 that is originally a 2v. I have a holley 650 to put on it and want to know what manifold I should buy. I want torque. I dont really go over 5000 rpms, so which one would be best to make this big old car go? Edelbrock performer, Edelbrock performer RPM, Air gap performer, or something else? Thanks for anybody's opinion. Right now, I am leaving the stock cam in it. I will probably change it next year for something mild. It is a street car that will be driven to the track a couple of times a year and ran a couple of times. (67 galaxie)
