Edelbrock RPM or Weiand Stealth intake.

I'd also say a Holley or Demon double pumper as well.

The single plain will give you more low end torque.

No it won't.

Single plane = high RPM hp
dual plane = low(er) end torque

Re: Need Help Single Or Dual Plane Intake

Since she's a daily driver I'll say go with the dual plane. A single plane will move the powerband up so high that it won't be usable on the street, and IMHO that cam doesn't have enough duration to warrant it.



As a side note, I hope you mean factory STYLE pistons....using stock size pistons in a block bored .060 over is just asking for gouged cylinders.

Re: Need Help Single Or Dual Plane Intake

I recently purchased a Edelbrock RPM Air-Gap dual plane & it has the best of both single & dual plane combined. It was worth every penny I paid for it ($226). It maintains your low end power/torque & also offers high end breathing and rpm's.
