Is there a penalty in TQ or HP using the SD vs. Eddy Perf RPM intake on a street application? The RPM can be a tight fit for stock air cleaners clearing the hood on some cars, and sometimes a dropped base can't be employed. I would assume the RPM would make more power, but a stealthy street motor's gonna spend more time in the 1500-3500 RPM range. A little loss in lowend, but not very noticeable. Years ago I did a same day track test b/t the two manifolds on my old 440 that ran 11.40s at 117 mph in my cuda. The ET and MPH were almost identical, but the 60 foot was only .01-.02 slower w/ the Holley SD. On the street I really couldn't tell a difference. The car had 4.10s and a 3500 stall FWIW.
