Street driving I'd use the Performer RPM. Drag racing the Trick Flow. If you're looking to save a few bucks shoot me a PM. I have some used low deck intakes sitting the shelf.

A little less aggressive, but similar to my 451. I run an RPM that I have cut and blended the plenum divider a good amount, and port matched to my heads. It runs pretty good with a wide, flat torque curve, which I think is a good match to my porky 3825 lb streetcar. Certainly Andy knows more than I, but I’m a little surprised to see him suggest the Trick-flow piece with a cam in the range of yours. I might have edged towards the M1 for a single plane. But I gotta think that the RPM would make the most sense, especially if street driven.

Too much gear for the cam, unless you have really tall tires.
I’m going to assume the gears are there cuz you’re looking for some ET at the track.

I’d be surprised if there was a tenth difference between any of the “better” options on that list.

If I could just order any of them up or go grab one off the shelf, I think I’d use the 4150 M1.
So, you’d have to hunt for that since they don’t make them anymore.

I think in the car, the TF and the Vic would be very close. Might be able to find a used Vic and save a few more bucks.

If it’s mostly street use, the rpm would be hard to argue with, and you could take some gear out of it too.

I have a brand new, never run but painted Chrysler orange Holley Street Dominator I would part with. Planned on doing a 400 based build for the next project but decided to go modern Hemi instead. PM if interested.

As mentioned, gear is WAY too deep. 3.54 or 4.10.

Pump gas, n/a, through the mufflers on street tires with 3.54's. 3,600 lbs.

Originally geared for a 383 stock eliminator and 30" tall radials. Calculator called for 88s. Now holds the 432 stroker and 31" radials, along with overdrive. Three speeds for the track and four for the street.
88s will get replaced when the dime is available....I'll probably be dead by then.

Things are always changing. I was eyeing Andy's Wilson intake when it was on the market, but the wife wouldn't let me sell the children.

I like the M1 for hood clearance. The SD is just not attractive to look at ,but available and affordable.

I really need something that will clear a billet valley cover and Andy's most-excellent bat wingy dingies. The heads have been shaved to 80cc's and the intake faces, extensively, to match. And, I don't want to pull the engine and dissemble to machine the China walls on this block. So, I'm a thinkin' the TF or Victor are my only options....and a new hood. Hmmm, Maybe I'll shim the k-member.

The Performer RPM I have sitting on the shelf has the exhaust crossover milled off so it will clear a billet valley cover. Not sure about hood clearance although it should clear. It isn't difficult to machine off the exhaust crossover so if you come across an used Performer RPM you can do that. If you're using the bat wings then the cross over should be blocked already. (not sure how long the gaskets will hold up to the exhaust gases though, they aren't designed for that)

I also have a slightly used Trick Flow intake sitting here. I bought it this summer for my Coronet but I'm switching to an RB based engine over the winter so the low deck TF intake will soon be an orphan.
