I have a Holley Street Dominator and an Edelbrock Performer 440. I will keep the one that would be most streetable and give me the best mileage. It will be used on a stock 440- not interested in hp, just the most "docile" of the two.

It should also return pretty good mileage. You'll get more $$$ from the SD when you sell it, as well, so keep the Perf, even though you should brace yourself for a slew of posts saying the opposite, mainly because board members tend to like horsepower over manners.

Keep in mind if you ever do your 440 up for the performance it is legendary for the Performer intake will be a restriction. AND if the SD is no longer available new you may want to hold onto yours. The SD is a high perf intake that does not sit as high as the Performer RPM. Keep old mopars alive.
