Hi Steve
I have a Performer RPM Air Gap on my new 5 liter with a 650 double pump
Holley and stock air cleaner. There is about 3/8" clearance at the front
corners of the air cleaner and more at the rear. I had a Performer on the
289 hipo that I replaced. The new manifold seems to tilt the carb a little
more so that the front is just a touch lower... BTW there IS no Performer
Air Gap ... only a Performer RPM Air Gap which I assume is the same height
as the Performer RPM ...only difference being the space under the runners...
The old Performer is noticeably 'shorter' ...

Subject: [Tigers] Edlebrock Intake Question
I am finally going to go ahead and switch out my original LAT option
Tiger script intake manifold for an Edlebrock Performer intake. I've
been told repeatedly that I will notice a real difference when I put the
pedal to the metal. My next trick is to decide on the standard
Performer, or the Performer Air Gap. Has anyone installed the Performer
Air Gap on their Tiger? They appear to be the same height, which would
be critical to make sure I can still close the hood with my stock air
cleaner/Holly carb. Finally, is anyone aware of any independent tests
that show a horsepower and or torque increase with the Air Gap over the
standard Performer?
Thanks as usual!
