performance wise you have 3 intakes that work the best and have been dynoed and track tested over and over again, Street dominator, M1 single plane and a edelbrock performer rpm. all will be within a hp or two of each other, all ran about the same quarter mile on the same car when tested back to back. now the m1 and the rpm are pretty tall. the street dominator is noticeably shorter than the others. so if you're worried about hood clearance the sd is the easy winner and keeps up performance with the other two. once you start getting more aggressive into the 650-700 hp range then you definitely want to switch intakes. With my Performer RPM I had to use a 1/2" carb spacer instead of a 1" carb spacer like I originally wanted and a drop base air cleaner to get hood clearance on a '67 Satellite. So if the SD allows you to use a 1" carb spacer and an air cleaner that isn't drop base, maybe that gives you the performance edge?

Looking back, it does come off as possibly sarcasm, which I actually do from time to time. But I am serious. You have enough motor where an SD would be okay IMO. I personally would still prefer a dual plane, and you will give some up in the lower rpm range, but considering your constraints of TQ and flat hood, overall probably an okay choice. cool. I went ahead and ordered the SD. I was thinking seriously about switching to a holley so i could use the performer RPM even though i know nothing about a holley., but figured i would try the SD and if not happy i could re-sell it and go the other route, but i have not heard any negatives about using the SD so will give it a try.

A wise chose, cause I don't think the performer RPM will fit under your Dart's flat hood with the RB 440.

Holley Street Dominator! Mine fits under the stock hood and does a great job.

I also have the SD. Second car I have had one on. Both with eddy heads. My current engine dynode at 554.7 hp, 545 tq. Pretty sure it may have a little more in it. I was worried about height on my 71 as it has an airgrabber hood. I didn't use the original air cleaner, but still have it. Kevin

Bobby (Streetwize) did mine and it picked up a .10 in the quarter.

I thought about that but the heads are not ported, so if the intake is bigger than the head ports, wont that cause interference with airflow?
