heres the thing lets say he gets that street heat wat if down the future the guy decides to build a stroker motor that street heat is ganna be choking it out your ganna need to step up to a bigger intake manifold that flows better it all depends wat you wanna do with the car the edelbrock rpm should be good it makes power from 1500 all the way too 6500 and the holley system max II makes power from 2000 to 6500 or 7000

If he decides to go with a stroker it wont choke it out how do you come to that assumption

the street heat will be your best option. you should see about a 35 horsepower gain.

if you are talkin about an intake swap only and getin 35rwhp or even 15-20rwhp out of just the intake you are smokin dope.

street heat intake iirc is short runners = high end hp gain
track heat intake iirc is long runners = low end torque

IMHO eddy or holly or go home.

No i was talking about the 15-20 with a tune and the intake the intake probably itself only gives a little he'll gain more off the tune so no im not smoking dope

I heard that to to stay away from the trick flow, not sure the reason everyone i have talk to says to go with edelbrock. good luck with your build if possible let me know what you go with and how it performs
