302 Carb Intake Recommendation
I have a freshened up 1985 Ford F-150 302 with a 2 barrel carburetor. I am going to swap the ignition system to a Duraspark II and swap the tired 2 barrel carb to a Holley 4 barrel. I have seen 4 barrel intakes from Weiand, Edelbrock Performer, and even Holley. Which intake would be best for a stock motor that will be used for a daily driver? I would love to hear your reccomendations!

Edelbrock Performer RPM Airgap, or Weiand Stealth. These are dual plane, and don't let that "RPM" wording scare you. They won't hurt low end tourqe at all, although they will still support up to 6000+ RPM. The regular Performer type 4V intakes arn't much better than stock intakes. The Stealth or RPM are a lot better than stock 4V intakes.

I prefer the Weiand Stealth. They support the broadest power band and have the rear coolant crossover built in. They are about an inch tall compared to the perfomer so check you hood clearence before you buy.
