Jim, are you sure you have the plain Performer intake and not a Performer RPM or Performer Air-Gap? With that LT1 hood you would have room for one of those taller intakes. Rodney, My cam is a hyd flat tappet. Roller cam is the way to go if you can afford the extra bucks. It would free up some poneys for sure, but i still think that intake would be restricting. I could be wrong. [/QUOTE]
I have the Performer 2101.

Years ago when I was a teenager my Granddad said to me " It's not what you know it's who you know" it took me along time to realize what that really meant and since I allready new everything at the time I didn't listen but I did remember what he said and how he gripped my arm real tight when he did.

Rich, I'll remember you if and when I need to upgrade my powerplant. Hopefully not in the NEAR future, as I have enough going on right now!
