It’s definitely a higher RPM intake, not to say the car is hurting for torque down low, but I will tell you the car pull all the way to redline like a banshee.
You still need to take the upper intake elbow off to remove the passenger side valve cover, but since the 4 bolts/nuts are right out in the open, it’s seriously a 30 second job.
However, if I could do it all over again, I would get the edelbrock EFI intake they just came out with, cheaper, and the fuel rails look a lot better.
The intake does get a lot of compliments though, and when you see a car that runs it, you just know the thing is built extremely stout.
I found one with the typhoon manifold, elbo and fuel rails for less then $500.00. Right now I just have exhaust and cold air but want to do the intake when I do the Thumper heads and Steeda 18 cam
The spyder style carb intakes are not fit for 99% of the small cube motors out, unless they are all out drag motors, lots of compression, lots of head and lots of rpm. If your looking at the Probe/CHP Spyders they are available in both a Vic Jr stlye lower and a Super Vic. Edelbrock just released their own version which has the bungs cast in, it is a Super Vic. They also now offer some elbows as well, box style, standard and low profile.. Prices aren't bad.
Personally a Cobra, Performer or Street Heat will feed all a E7 even ported can take...
