Edelbrock Performer RPM vs Weiand Steath- Which do you prefer?
Lets imagine you had a 351w and wanted to go 4bbl. You had a choice between an Edel Performer RPM and a Weiand Stealth. Which would you choose for street use and why?

I don't know anything about how well the Stealth manifolds work, so my decision is not really informed except that I know the RPM Air Gap is a stellar performer on the 408.
Not to say that the Stealth might not be just as good....

The Stealth manifold uses a long-runner design to increase low-rpm power, combined with a large plenum for high-rpm operation. They claim an off-idle to 8k rpm power band. My 331 doesn't wind up to 8k, but it does just fine up to 6k
Not going to claim it's better than an RPM because I haven't used one, but the Stealth suits my engine just fine

They're both similar intakes. Plenum volume, height and runner dimensions are very similar. I haven't seen any direct comparisons between the 2, but I'd imagine that each has some slight advantages somewhere over the other. All in all either one will do very much the same for same builds. I'd go with whichever one I could get for cheaper.
I have a Weiand on my 302 and am very happy with it.
