RPM air Gap problems?
nutter thing you gotta consider is the core shift on stock LA heads. also, when edelbrock spec out those RPM intakes.. did the spec it off an original LA head, or there PERFORMER or PERFORMER RPM head. i would guess the latter. NOT saying every intake is perfect.. far from. but your trying to justify the crosswind purely on the cost factor. sometimes that arguement works.. sometimes not.
Ok, now were talking, your right, they most likely based it off there heads, & yes, you have to take in consideration of core shift, but some have had problems with the Eddy intake with the eddy heads, so how do you explain that? now, as for the cost factor of the crosswind, i'm happy with it & how it fits, but i'm running "new" heads, so there you go, i won't argue that the Crosswind will perform "as good" as the Eddy, but it was shown to me how the eddy intake had that gasket allignment problem, that has nothing to do with "ANY" head, i myself have had it to, but i ignored it, wasn't happy about it, but let it & installed it.
this is truely the 1st. time i've bought China stuff, yes, i've built several BBs, & some SBs, & they "ALL" had genuine mopar parts for the most part & everything else american made, i'm happy with my Crosswind purchase & "ready too run" Wysco dizzy. I was just justifing my thoughts of the Crosswind as i don't see it as a total POS like some claim, the ones that call it this & have never used it have "NO" reason to knock it period, but the ones that have purchased it & then knock it, why did they/you buy it in the 1st. place & pass on a USA product, to save $$$, but i'm sure a few buy it for testing purposes, but i haven't seen any Dyno #s for a back too back comparison.
And i bought this intake 1 time, it bolted up nice, no leaks, but did you listen to what you said, you had to send your Eddy back for repairs & had to eat the shipping too boot lol.
