Stick with the eddy, when you compare the two especially having eddy heads on it.

if he's got a stroker and using the plain performer 5.0 [&:].....if he has decent heads. and cam in the 331.......my opinion is neither of those intakes are good enough...I'd at least have the performer rpm II or holley systemax or a trick flow one........gt-40 although back in the day it was a top notch one.......it ranks on the bottom now
