so on my 366 in the burb i have a hacked 4bbl intake that doesn't look like it would flow well at all. i have been considering getting some intake spacers and going to an aluminum intake.

it seems like the more i let this motor breathe the better the power is. i was attributing that to the high elevation where i am at, approx. a mile. so the question i have is would a single plane intake manifold normally meant for 2500 rpm's and up actually be beneficial to my motor powerwise due to increased volume?

currently the fuel is regulated at 6 psi and i have a 750 edelbrock on it, because the 350 tbi made it a dog. the 750 edel isn't much better. i think part of this is due to my crappy exhaust y pipe. i know i need to get this fixed before i can expect to see much any where else.

just curious what your thoughts are ck5. thanks.

side note considering switching to a 454 tbi along with the aluminum intake.
