Carb and Intake Manifold ?'s

[blazer88]

I have an 84 blazer with a newish crate motor(5.7 350). I have the computer controlled quadrajet. Just had it rebuilt by a shop in fresno, and they did a really good shop. The intake manifold is a edelbrock performer, it is a high rise, but it is only 3/8 of an inch or so of a rise. The mechanic said I would be better off with a low rise. Would it be that big of a difference? It runs good as it is. I just want to leave it and not spend the money.

then go out and hit the skinny pedal.. if your happy then so be it..

prime example.. when i bought a cam. i got stuck in the... same price for a .454" lift as for a .680" lift... ok so one was idle-5000 power and the other was 2500-6500 power i think... so i had to sit back and go.. ok what do i really need...
if your happy with it then good...

dont forget.. part is mods, part is full truck and most is driver experience....

Don't change it, that's very little bang for the buck (if any)

The Performer will work just fine.
Run with it.

X3. The performer is better in every way than a stock manifold.
