Does a PRM II upper line up with a lower from a edelbrock performer or are the ports different on a RPM lower. Basicly Iam trying to figure out if I can reuse my lower intake and sell the upper for the RPM upper which should work better with my supercharger.

I believe I have the World product Sr heads on my car but I need to still pull a valve cover to make sure(been raining here). So Iam thinking if I was to get those heads cleaned up I would run a combo as follows:

Performer RPM II
World Sr heads
Custom Comp cam, specs are:
int. exh.
gross valve lift .513 .513
duration@.050 224 230
adver. duration 276 282
lobe seperation 114.0

With my Powerdyne BD-11A running about 10 psi, and supporting mods. Shooting for over 400 rwhp.

How does this setup look, or should I be thinking about a different combo.

Why not just sell the Performer and use all of the RPM II??

It was just a idea because I was told by someone that they match up, apperently he was wrong. How about the combo what do you guys think?

The RPM and the performer intake's make up, but the RPM II runs a triangular port shape therefore it won't mate to the performer/performer rpm's rectangular ports.

If I were to guess, the RPM II will bolt-up, you just need to move the locating screw pins, the ports are different shaped, so it probably isn't ideal.

Atleast that is what I see from the pics summit has when I have looked.

Just use the RPM II upper and lower, and sell your performer.

I'd give you different advice, but the experts have spoken...........

hints - your blower is a centrifugal and the Sr head flows ~225cfm tops in stock condition and I assume this is a street car.

yes it will work with no problem, just port match it. I know because my car has that done right now, I snapped a bolt from the upper to lower and then snapped and easy out in the lower so I bought a regular performer lower and port matched it to the RPM II, works fine

Yeah, I always thought it would bolt-up...

I have always heard that it wouldn't...

Hmm...
