RPM II is likely overkill for a street car.

Go with the performer

well see i got the rpm II because soon i plan to get a 347 stroker kit, heads, cam, injectors... so i belive the rpm II will be a good intake manifold for the new motor... right now i really love it... i feel a diffrence but i don't know ow much is from the intake bacuse in the same time i've chaged the TB and the pullies... then i went for the RPM II because it's only i belive a $50 diffrence between the two... take care

Get 3:73's, and no less. 4:10's if you don't do a lot of freeway driving.

My buddy put one on his, virtually same set up as mine. AFR 165's, 70mm TB, 73mm MAS, 1.6 rockers, Steeda 18 cam, 24# injectors, and 3.7?? gears. I drove it before and after each change/part, (I helped, so I got to drive). He has a 92 GT. Every change was an increase until the RPM2, then, holly crap. Better throttle response, and it pulls hard! I just bought one for that specific reason! I got mine from ebay for $535. Summit lists them for $585 this month, $595 next month. We live in Colorado, and I am not sure if the lack of air is an issue on the plus side???
