FYI - Performer uppers and RPM uppers are swappable. RPM 2 uppers will not fit on a performer lower.

I wouldn't worry about low end grunt with a 408 stroker!

yeah, it is a performer intake, not a performer rpm ii intake. i'm not sure which intake will be better with this combo, so i am planning to get a rpm ii upper for when i take it to the dyno. i'll stick with whichever one gives me a better torque curve.
yeah, i love the march stuff too, but they don't make brackets for people in my situation, 94/95 accessories on a 351w engine, so i had to go with fox accessories. it is beautiful stuff, but expensive as all get out. just the brackets, alt and a/c compressor put me back like $1500. but the rest of the motor is so beautiful that it seemed like a shame to not go all the way with it.
so now i am thinking i am going to have to shell out the $$$ to have onebad95 polish my upper. then i'll need to get the elbow and throttle body polished too ...
What kind of spark plug wires, looms and size of those spark plug wires are they?
i happen to have a typhoon sitting in my basement; i go it cheap when i was going to use it on my budget 331 build.JFYI- the RPM II will not fit on the lower you have. You will have to run an old style RPM or a typhoon upper. I'd reall surprised if either isn't a pretty big restriciton for 410 cubes.
Charlie does increadible work. Are you going ton have it dyno'd before you polish it?

if someone has a victor efi sitting around, i suppose i i could try that one too, but the cam is designed for a lower rpm range than the victor has.

What kind of cam are you planning on running?
That performer may choke it off real bad.....
I am looking at a Super Vic EFI.
BTW... I'll be running a 383W w/ Pro Topline 215cc heads
fair enough. i'll see how it performs and if i am not happy with it, i'll change it.Its your build and I respect the direction you have taken, but IMO I think you would enjoy the car more if its powerband were to be moved up into the higher RPM range. With the amount of toque the cubes alone are going to give you, I think you are going to have your hands full in terms of keeping it on the road. By trading a little of the off idle torque the car will have a better chance of planting the tires before all the power is unleashed so to speak. Good luck with it though Chris.

as time goes on, i can certainly change the intake and cam if i want to try something else. i doubt i'll have a reason to change the heads though.
surprised they went with such a mild cam....
I was thinking the exact some thing.
Chris, I don't won't this to come across as negative, but I think your hopes are a bit high for a 500HP result from your combo based on the cam and intake choice alone. I mean this only to be constructive.
the 500+ i'm hoping for is at the flywheel. i am/was hoping for more like 450 at the wheels.I agree. If it hits 410hp, you should smile! And I don't mean that to be mean, its just not gonna make near what you're hoping for.
