EXCEPTING the intakeEdbert said:I understand what you are sating DD,and for my tastes I agree. But for a mild, reliable, economical, daily driver...the performer stuff will be an all-around improvement over a stock c-code build.
Are you stalking me D? LOLD.Hearne said:EXCEPTING the intakeOnly difference there is the 10-20 lb weight savings.
Agreed, the milage "might" be improved over a stock 2 bbl intake, but like you say, that depends on the right foot. Otherwise the Performer is simply a lighter weight stock type intake. For that, I'd just pick up an 80's 5.0 4 bbl stock intake on ebay for $50.Edbert said:Are you stalking me D? LOL
The C-code was a 2v, so yes the plain old performer (aluminum 4V) WILL give improved performance over the cast iron 2V, perhaps not an economy improvement but that depends more on the weight of the right foot than anything else.
Dark Knight said:well, since you have the performer, get the RPM, try it out, and if you dont like it.. sell it to tyler
A more detailed list of what your 'vert had under the hood is in order for that question to be answered. Just from what you listed in your signature, a few questions come to mind. 1. What cam did it have ? 2. How much tuning did you do to that 600 Holley ? Or was that the carb you had on the RPM ? The improvement could be due simply to the carb. For instance, if you ran it as is out of the box with that combo, the secondaries may not have been opening, or opening too soon and that, combined with an insufficient accellerator pump shot would cause it to bog off the line ( too lean with the larger plenum volume) I can think of a dozen scenariosDark Knight said:So, if the RPM is so good, why did it slow my vert down?
