OK, an ol'schooler intake.Running an Eddy Tarantula right now, TM5 I think.
The difference between the RPM and the RPM air Gap can be seen pictured if you go to Summit racing.com. Click below to see the intakes.Is there a difference between a RPM and RPM performer or are they same?

Performer RPM http://www.summitracing.com/parts/EDL-7176/
(This is splitting hairs, but it must be made clear since people have come back and complained about wrong info given and they become upset cause there fingers got worn out from clicking a mouse to investigate what these things look like and there correct names of the parts they are purchasing.)
The is no such intake called the "RPM Performer."
There is an intake called the Performer and it is a idle to 5500 rpm intake. It is a stock replacement intake with or with out a EGR valve on the side.

?Will M1 fit under factory dual scoop Dart/Demon hood
IDK for sure, check other threads witha few key search words and/or wait for the been there and done that. My guess is no. But for a single plane intake, it is very good. It's not a screaming hi RPM intake. But it'll go 7000.
Your stroker will work OK with a single plane just because of the sheer size of the engine and realitivley med. to high rpm band your in.
Probably a dumb question, but whats the effects of dual vs single plane?
Thanks
The single plane has a lack of torque on the lower RPM band and is OK for use with High stall converters, loose gears and light weight cars. If you drive the street , the dual plane is what you want. The RPM intakes will out power any single plane on a street bound car due to the low end torque being greater. (AKA, Get going quicker.) In the mid range to the top of the RPM band, there about equal, though, build dependent, and for the most part, the RPM is a shade better. Nothing to sqwauk about.
If you use a single plane, your best bet is to use it as intended, in a race car like fashion. Along with a high stall converter to launch the car past the dead spot the single plane has (Low RPM) and right into it's peak torque power output. This of course works in concert with loose gears. Example; 4.56's, 4.88's and up. And a lightened car to get going quicker and easier.
So, single plane intakes are best suited for hi rpm drag racing and constant hi rpm driving, like circle track and long runs.
On and off the gas pedal might like a dual, again, build track dependent.
