Thoughts on this 318 build

So from what I've been hearing not many people like the air gap style intakes as the cam cause poor fuel atomization?
That’s not accurate but it also depends on the build.

As I said I have a performer intake I can use.
Why you haven’t decided to use it yet is beyond me and probably most here.

Would it really be worth it to get a performer rpm?
IMO, No. because the bottom line is it is money spent on something that’s not needed and a most minor amount better at best.

I'm leaning more towards running the 750 Holley on-top of the performer with some port matching. Street car no winter driving. Going to be driven as much as I have time to.
Sounds good to me. But port matching at this level is not going to deliver a great gain. Keep on top of the carb tune until you find the best running and WOT conditions. Pay attention to your plugs as they will tell you all you need to know about the engines running condition.

I don’t know why you’re posting what appears to be a post still questioning what you’re going to do. Just do it. All whom posted generally agree and see it the same way. Carb choice is like underwear choice. As long as it’s well tuned, it’ll be fine.

Just build the dang thing and get on with it already!
