I would like to get a new manifold for my sb 350. I have a small cam and headers. I'm goin to go with either the Edelbrock performer or performer RPM intake.

Any suggestions and feedback?

Thanks Dan

If you plan on keeping the RPM's under 5,500, then the performer will be your best bet. But if the engine likes to rev past 5,500 the Performer RPM is my choice. Either will work, but there are trade off's to both.

Check out the new performer RPM air-gap with the PermaStar finish. Would be #1 on my list.

Does holley have any good intakes? - i plan on keeping the engine under 6000 rmp's. I have a holley 650 double pump now that i'm using. and would like to keep this carb.

Thanks

Your Holley 650 will bolt right on any intake with a square flange including performer rpm or rpm air-gap. Don't have any experience with Holley intakes but I'm sure they work just fine.

I have a small cam and headers on my 72 350. The airgap gave me more torque everywhere over a stock cast iron 4bbl, but that was with a cam change also. I also noticed it didnt get as soggy when it warmed up in the AZ heat. Plus it looks cool.
