I think there is more velocity and bottom end torque with the performer for your present combination.
The rpm intake will not help the bottom end but still be OK. It may get you some more rpm up top (3-500 more). Good heads would allow the rpm intake to show its full potential. Perhaps 1,000 rpm more with better bottom end to boot.
I really don't think it will show up on the time slip with the way your present combination.
Afterall, torque is what will "get the barge moving".
well...
looking at another dulcich article here on a smogger 360, looking between step 3&4, the only difference is a stock spread bore intake vs. an edelbrock performer.
granted, the performer is up 10 lb-ft at 2000 RPM where the test starts, that advantage is gone by 2400 RPM, and is actually down 10lb-ft by 2800 RPM. and this is with a stock 360 cam.
looking at the Dulcich 340 and 360 articles I referenced, it looks like on a 360ish cube motor, even a mild one, you may loose a minimal amount of torque on the low end--2400RPM on down (likely right around the flash RPM of the converter), but gain significantly on midrange torque & HP from at least 3k on up....I see no downsides to running it, and worst case maybe upgrading to a stock high stall, or MP166k converter (which flashed to 2800 behind my 360 in a 3.55 equipped 5th ave) would mitigate the 10 lb-ft loss below 2400 RPM
