Is the Edelbrock DP4B for 383 Better ??? How about Mopar Dual plane 4529117 ??? Looking for opinions and answers on these four intakes Thanx Scott 1971 Dodge Charger Superbee 2011 Ram Sport 1500 Quad Cab Deep Water Blue Loaded Siberian Huskies

Use a drop base air cleaner so that you will clear the hood. Trouble is you are working on taking air and fuel in but are still trying to get it out by using the stock manifolds. You need to improve the exhaust flow to utilize the intake and cam capabilities. Clean it, if it's Dirty. Oil it, if it Squeaks. But: Don't fix it, if it Works!

We have one on my boys 400 in his Dart and we wanted to keep the stock hood no matter what. It fits with about 1-1/2" of room. But it's an A-body so I don't know if it will fit in your car. It has great low end and mid range with good pull up to around 6500. If it won't fit I also like the Holley Street Dominator. It's a single plane and it has great top end and good low end for a single plane. We have used both on my sons car and they both ran in the 11.50's with the RPM having the better 1/8 time and .04 better in the 1/4 but was about 1 mph less then the SD. Here is the Performer RPM on his 400. Ron Last edited by 383man; 07/28/06 08:57 PM.

I do have more of a drop base under the factory air cleaner and it's smaller in size so it makes the air cleaner unsilenced. I have an Edelbrock DP4B to go on it mostly for more factory appearing looks. The performer has the egr setup which is ugly.

The Performer isn't much better than stock. How much stall you got? that 484 cam likes about 3000+ and at least 10:1 compression. [IMG]http://i66.tinypic.com/pui5j.jpg[/IMG] Coming soon!!!!

If you want to go w/ a longer (/6) throttle cable and use a drop base you could try a 1" although not sure if it would help. I see they have new tapered 4 hole spacers I might try one of those on my 440 build...but they aren't cheap! Ine good thing about spacers is they get the carb off the hot intake. Make sure you get the valley pan w/ heat riser block offs. This will also keep the intake temp down. Good luck. [IMG]http://i66.tinypic.com/pui5j.jpg[/IMG] Coming soon!!!!

I dont know if you will feel anything in the seat of your pants, but some back to back track runs will tell the story. As cheap as they are your could buy a few different types and report back. I have a B engine SD for my car. Doc. I used to care but....... things have changed

I like the stock look too, I even painted the manifold so it would look as stock as possible, but Theres no way a complete stock air cleaner would fit. I really wanted to use the Eddy RPM package and already had the cam, so I made due. I took a drop base cleaner, painted it black and found a re-production sticker. Even this setup barely clears. Its not stock, but it has that low-key look and I really like how it turned out. I do think if you run a drop base & put the stock top over the element & it would work, & retain the stock look. If I can ever figure out how to publish pics to the web, I'll throw a pic in. LemonWedge - Street heavy / Strip ready - 11.07 @ 120

Looks like your using the factory kick down linkage - How does that work using the RPM Intake I know they make higher adapters(Aftermarket) for that style linkage but on my 71 Bee my kickdown linkage is different - Not a threaded rod - 71 uses a one piece rod that you loosen a bolt and slide it were you need it for kickdown - Look at my attachment or picture of engine in earlier thread Havnt seen this type of higher adapters for 71 kickdown linkage using the RPM Intake Thanx Scott 1971 Dodge Charger Superbee 2011 Ram Sport 1500 Quad Cab Deep Water Blue Loaded Siberian Huskies
