Guest 327zxer Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 In the near future I plan to a Holley 750cfm double pumper carb, the pro street kit From summit racing which includes trickflow heads and cams, but here is the problem I don't know what kind of an intake I should get. I want the best performing one they make. I don't want a tunnel ram intake though. This 327 came out original of a chevy truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 For all around usage, especially a car you will drive , I would go for the Performer RPM non-airgap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAZRNR Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 Mike, Why not the edelbrock rpm air gap intake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 327zxer Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 Thanks for the help. But I think we are going to just straight up build it for the occasional weekend get out. I found a tunnel ram intake and in allows the use of two 650cfm holley double pumpers .Which looks awesome by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToplessZ Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 Hmmm well I dont know everything but unless that 327 of yours is making 600 or more horsepower I dont think the double carb setup is your best bet. If you do go withthe double carbs you probably want to look at something like 500 cfm's each. But dont take it from me the guys here on the board are full of good info.

Guest 327zxer Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 That makes good since to me. I bet you know a little about this stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 327zxer Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 This is on my engine build up list. A weiand street supercharger with 2 holley 600cfm double pumper, trickflow aluminum heads, cams with a .555 lift, patriot side pipes, dual quad street scoop. My goal here is 500 horses. Sound good or bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 For street driving, the air gap means it takes longer for the engine to warm up. The heating effect of the intake costs a LITTLE overall power, but helps keep fuel in vapor form and warmup. Also seems to be a little lower overall height.

fl327 Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 that combo sounds tough as heck. 500hp sounds really easy with those alum heads and a dual quad blower, real easy, but if you are going blower, i would go with a bigger engine like a 355 or so with a 8-1ish like total cr, that thing will fly!

Guest 327zxer Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 I probably won't get a blower for it. I think I will just stick to the weiand dual quad tunnel ram intake manifold and keeping the dual 600cfm double pumper carbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-TARD Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 you might want to invest $20 first in a book by David Vizzard, about modifying small block chevys on a budget. might save you a lot of money down the road..... Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
