Edelbrock or stock ?

Hi Got a 68 block with stock iron heads and would like some cheep HP
so , Add cam , headers,10 to 1 . All is good, but that edel rpm intake?
Is it worth the extra cash? From what I read this stock intake flows very well for
the mild stock build. And the bottom end is were to spend the cash.
Have to stop some were.

Stay with the GT manifold and save your money for gas.

Bear, are you reading between the lines? How's ya know he has a GT intake? Are all 68 4v intakes a GT?

Anyway, I agree, most of th factory 4v intakes are good enough. You might pick up a few ponies with another intake, but you're not running too much cam there, so you should get most of it's performance.

ya might consider a gear change if you're close to 3.00:1. how much does the car weigh?

Well Beside's the engine losing about 60lbs of weight with the RPM Intake, And helping mid range hp and top end hp.... The $300 is your call...

Even my all Iron Budget build ,will have a Victor on it....
