Default In need of intake recommendation

I have a '67 coupe, with a 1974 302 in it. It's been bored .40 over, hedman headers, Holley 4160 carb, and completely rebuilt. This will be a daily driver in the Southeast. I'm leaning towards the Edelbrock 2121(Performer 289), which is good from idle to 5,500 rpm. Are there suggestions for something better?

What rpm range is your cam good for?

That's part of my problem. When I bought the car, I was told it had a mild cam in it, but that was several years ago. I reused it in the rebuild, so I'm not exactly sure what cam it is. I would say its definitely mild, not much more than stock.

I'm a fan of the Edlebrock Air Gap Aluminum intakes. It will add some power to that little 302.

a std performer is best . . the rpm manifolds have less bottom end.

I would go with a Performer or RPM intake but definitely not an Air Gap. I might consider one on a more radical motor.

.
buy the performer.

if you like to rev it out, you can also buy a 1" open carb spacer and try it.

if you have a noticeable cam and 3.23 gears or numerically higher and like to rev it, i would buy the rpm.

If it's a mild build then you can't go wrong with a Performer.
