howdy yall how yall all doing? i was wondering which is better a edelbrock performer or performer rpm manifold. i wont the most power i can get but still wont good lake off power. thanks

 

i put the performer rpm on my 460 with the perfomer cam and carb and i got alot of hp and went from 5.3 mpg with the 400m to 16.6 in my 78 F250 supercab 4x4.but i also did L&L headers and 3inch exaust all the way to the back.

Good take off power really depends on your motor. If you have a 460 either mainifold will give you good takeoff. If you have a 302 I wouldn't get the RPM unless you were to go with a higher stall converter and a bigger cam. Please include more info on your intentions. Are you drag racing? What size truck? What gears? Are you worried about mileage? How many other mods are you wanting to do along with the intake if any?

 

sorry about that its a 390 ford i have a 6c behind it and 3.00 gears i wont more power out it but mostly take off power

 

William, the perfomer has slightly more power at idle with the RPM catching up and passing by 2500 rpms. I would get the RPM. The RPM will breath better when your foot is in it and still be able to do the job if you make other additional chages later. DF

 

William, for better takeoff change your rear gears to 3.25 or 3.50 or even higher. That is the least expensive route to take and no guessing wheather it will work or not. It will launch much better but more launch = less MPG. ;-)
