I have no idea why you think I'm "arguing" with anyone on here or why I would think my arm is being twisted. It's a forum. We're having a discussion. People provide info and opinion. It's my prerogative to do the same. I appreciate everyone's opinion. I thanked everyone. I have no idea why you feel a need to represent all of the good folks that responded but have at it. No offense intended.
You assume I bought all of the parts that are on my motor and car. I didn't. I bought a complete car about a year ago. The motor came as I listed with the one exception of the E-street heads that I bought and installed last month to raise compression and flow a little better than the stock 8.2 CR heads. I'm ready for an intake and just want to be as sure as I can be about which one to install.
Those heads are Edelbrock's entry level. Idle to 5,500. That cam is idle to 5,800. The orange box is up to 6,000. All within 500 rpm of each other. Both Performer intakes may work ok but I was hoping someone may have a definitive reason why one over the other on a mild build. No worries. I appreciate the input from everyone.
