-How would an OD A833 affect performance? I know the questions regarding the reliability of the case. but how would the gearing affect the performance, and how about street manners with this setup?
The trans will be fine. Most people concerned with this have not run them, but heard about failures. It will work fine for you.
-If I go with a single plane intake with this setup, how is driveability affected? Do I still make enough low-end torque to get around town? Remember, this is a 99% street time car.
The OD has a super low 1st gear, so getting moving will be fine. But you may need to downshift to get around trucks at 45mph.
-Lastly, If I go w/ the Eddy's right out of the box with no work, can I still make enough power to get into mid 11's with what you guys have recommended? Or are your recommendations including some port work to the heads?
Edelbrock's ports are fine OOTB, but the assembly is not IMO. You only ned about 425hp to reach mid 11s if the car is set up for drag racing. If it's not, you need to make more. The heads OOTB can make about 480, plus a little depending on a few variables.
