Re: Got Me some Camel Humps!!

Personally I like AFB type (Edelbrock) carbs for the street/ daily driver, and Holley for racing. But that's just me and I'm sure to upset a few folks here, not my intention.

After I did a bit of research on the cams listed here, the Edelbrock Performer Plus is close to stock, maybe a bit larger depending on your stock cam.
Edelbrock Performer RPM is quite a bit bigger, more lift, lope, but less vac. @ idle.
The Summit 1103 is real close to a half way point between the two, @ a third of the price. (Vic's real proud of his stuff)

Buy the Summit cam, save the $$ for an aluminum intake. Nothing wrong with iron, but unless your looking @ one that's a square bore (equal sized opening where carb mounts) and not a spread bore (secondary holes larger than primaries) you'll still need an adapter plate.

Just convince your wallet or wife, that the money you saved buying the cheaper cam and not buying the adapter plate, is about the same as a new intake!! I see them on craigslist all the time.
