I was thinking about selling my Edelbrock Performer 5.0 and going with either a TFS Track Heat or their R series Intake. I plan on getting a blower in the near future and be pushing around 12-14psi then later on upgrading the block to a low comp. 331.

I also like the idea of having an all TFS powered car. Would switching intakes be benificial for me? If so, how much could I get for my Edelbrock? Its got about 5000 miles on it, no defects, lower is in great condition.

Since it's painted you'd need to find someone that wants red lettering. I got mine brand new in the classifieds for $400 shipped to my door. I would start at $375 and see what you can do.

I say keep the Performer, wait till you buy the new shortblock, then buy the R. I wouldn't buy the R and put it on the stock shortblock. IMO, it's too big of a manifold to drive on the street with unless you have a pretty radical combination. Before I scored up my GT40, I was looking at Performers, and they were going for 350-400 all day long. If need be, just bead blast the red off of the manifold, and that will take it to it's "as cast" state.

I'm thinking of selling my Ported Performer that has seen very little milage on it. What would a fair price for one of these be? I spend $450 in porting. Flows 275cfm.

Thanks for the replies. I think I'm just going to be keeping it for now and see how well it will perform with the blower before I make my final decision.

The Performer is an all around great intake. My best N/A times were with the Performer. I couldn't trap 106+MPH with the RPM for some reason. I say keep it until the power adder. I still have my Performer upper in the garage. I should dyno them both.
