Tweet

im lookin at gettin a new carb and intake manifold for my 454, im thinkin a holley 750 carb and an edelbrock performer intake, just lookin for anyone thats used them or any reccomendations really

i am installing a 700 cfm and edelbrock performer intake on my 472 caddy engine. it is suppose to be exactly what the engine calls for.

If this is more or less a stock motor, that combo will work fine idle to 5500 rpm's. If you have done any work at all to the motor or installed a cam that is over stock, you would be better served with an Edelbrock RPM or Weiand Stealth intake (1500-6500). The taller carb mounting pad adds length to the runners and a straighter shot at the head ports. The high-rise is good for about 40 hp over the low-rise Performer on my software dyno.

thanks tech that explains alot.

Better late than never, but an Edelbrock spreadbore performer rpm with a jet stage 2 quadrajet is an awsome setup.

I love it when a good plan comes together.
