Ron Burgundy IV - Manifold Test

Death of a Small-Block

By , Photography by , Grant Peterson
1987 Ford Mustang Fox Edelbrock Performer Dual Quad Air Gap Manifold

Edelbrock Performer RPM Dual-Quad Air-Gap Intake Manifold
This manifold surprised everyone. We're accustomed to dual-quad manifolds being a bit lazy in the midrange, but Edelbrock's dual-quad had the best average torque and made more peak horsepower than the Victor Jr. single-plane at 6,400 rpm. The twin 500-cfm carbs combined with the Air Gap design is a powerful combination for the 363 engine. We even used the factory jetting.

 I'd lik to see the same test using the wilson spacer on the rpm airgap intake. I use a funnel web(equal to the super vic) on a 302/5.0 motor in my 90 coupe with tfs 3 cam, ported world sr heads that has very good street manners and drive anywhere with 4.30 gears.
