I had a brand new Edelbrock Performer rpm Reg.I had mounted to my engine with the New Holley carb,not a Gm version,but it had a USA emblem,kinda look a flag red/white/blue. I then changed it when I made the decision to go Q-jet to the Holley Contender intake,kinda similar to the Z-28 with bigger ports.Hopefully to support the bigger engine. Holley could be falsely advertising their rpm range at i(dle -7200 rpm). I'll never be in the higher rpm range, afr & many suggest more intake than I have,even a single plane ,as they call it an intake hogg.If it's a junker,back to the Edelbrock air gap thats everbody is running. It's very tall & even with a SS/cowi induction hood,its very tall & wouldn't work in a close tolerance situation.Gets even taller with the sq. bore to q jet adapter. Maybe I'll come across something like Cliffs intake,it looks like severely modified with the x-over gone.Chevy probably didn't put too much research into the stock intakes like the 455's intake.Later Kelley

73SS,I found some better pics of the Edelbrock emblem I spoke of.Probably they didn't make this emblem requied (if) Gm subed the intake.Kelley

73ss:
Thanks for the pics Kelley. This intake does not have the emblem. The emblem is not pictured in the catalog either for this intake.[url]http://www.edelbrock.com/automotive_new/mc/manifolds/chevy/perf_rpm-bb.shtml.
I called edelbrock and of course they are not aware of any problems but would like me to send it to them for a look. I agree with you that chevy didn't seem to put in the effort that Pontiac did. Pontiac stuck with the q-jet on thier hi-po stuff & Chevy went the holley route. (LS6, Z-28, LT-1).  Thanks.

Did Edelbrock build the intake for GM? If they did,they're doing  just like other corporations ,ignoring the problem. They'll act stupid until an engine pops with the hanging carb,then they'll get real concerned. I'm enjoying the holidays with the kids & the dog,we're having a great time. Happy holidays to everyone on the forum & have a have a great holiday Cliff & your family. I know my son-in- law,daughter & 2 kids are going to have a very special Christmas,he's not deployed to Iraq for the first time in several years. We'll get to see the grand kids & daugjhter in Feb. during while he preparing for Afganistan. We as Americans take things so simple for granted,enjoy every special moment for we might be taken at any moment. God Bless,Kelley
