Do you race the car,or street drive it? A performer RPM is a good street/ strip intake for that combination . If your car is light,has a lot of gear,etc. I would use the Victor style.
Probably be more help with a better description of thwarted car and its use

I agree. The Holley Street Dominator may also work good with it depending on the weight , gear and so on. Ron

I suppose that would help. its in a 74 dodge charger. and has a 3.55 SG but i will be swapping that out with a 4.10 soon here. The car is a street/strip car, and is quite portly at around 4k pounds.
I also do have a old Weiand 7500 intake here if you think that may work for my combo.
I would go with the Eddy Performer RPM on your combo. Just make sure it will fit under your hood if you do. Ron

RPM or S/D. or you could go for a nice 3x2.... 
Yea forgot about the 6pk setup as that would work nice with the right tune on it.  Ron

 with ya!!
If you plug in your car weight/converter stall/carb size/cam factors:
S/D - Moderate Street/Strip (Great all-around performance, especially with a TQ)
RPM- Sharper Street Performance Good basic Strip manifold.
Six pack - Great Street/Strip setup, added airflow
accomodates bigger hydraulics and small solids. Just have to "dial-in" the jets and secondary barrel(s) timing.
RPM- Sharper Street Performance Good basic Strip manifold, add a 950 holley and look out

So, how about an Indy dual plane 1x4? Not enough engine for it? Is the Indy part over-hyped? Don't want a political discussion on Indy, just throwin it out there.
I was wondering the same. I read somewhere it out flows the edelbrock. The thing with the Indy that scares me away is the price. But I suppose you do get what ya pay for.

Since you have a low stall conv... being that way you need to make all the torque you can make at a low RPM to move the weight.... go with the RPM... your cam wont support high rpm anyways so think low rpm.... also being that its mostly street I would keep the 3.55 in it for a while to check out the engine changes... then if you want change the gear

Does Indy make that manifold in 440 port sizes?   I was told they don't
The 440 port size is the only size they make.

The indy dual plane is a Max wedge manifold with big MW plenum chambers but (as delivered) the runners are tapered down to 440 size ports, they are very easy to open up if you go max wedge and will support a 700+ HP motor.
The SD used to be my favorite 440 street/strip manifold and it is a great "default" 500" stroker manifold in cases where a dual plane could give you more torque than you can put to the ground. But the 440 2-D is now because it's the most versitile and will produce broader and higher average torque up to ~700 hp than any single plane with an Automatic and moderate street gears/stall. The Performer RPM is a great piece but it is more limited internally in terms of how much you can port it, the 2-D does everything an RPM can do and has potential (room to grow) to do more.
Allegedly the 2D is based on the 426 Max Wedge NASCAR intake, In well-ported form it pulls up past 6800 on a 12:1 517" low deck motor with some of the very best flowing MW heads out there, Chapman Stage VI maxies.

This man knows what he is talking about.
I use the Indy Dual plane and Dwayne Porter told me the same thing as Streetwize said. It comes with Max Wedge runners that size down to standard ports. But all you have to do is open the ports to max wedge size maybe a 1/2" deep and you have a max wedge ports and runners sizes. Dwayne reccomnded the Indy dual plane for me and so far I love it. But on a stock 440 with basic heads it may not be needed as the RPM should handle that. A stroker with some heads that flow should like the Indy dual plane better. Ron

Yep, the tunnel ram is best, but too many people are afraid of tuning 2 carbs even though in reality it's easy.

As far as the Eddy dual four intake with dual Eddy or Carter carbs they aren't as responsive or as nice to drive as the single carb is on a good intake like the Eddy Performer RPM are
