I was assuming you didn't have an alternative aluminum dual plane. By all means- run the Performer. Idle to 5500 is perfect for a truck.


From my reading, it would appear as the original "440 Performer" was just an aluminum version of an iron intake and might be a better choice for maximum torque as well as lighter weight/cooler under the carb, though I've never had one.

What are everybody's thoughts on that? What should a guy pay for one if one pops up for sale? Is there another like it?
