    I have seen dyno tests where the Air Gap made more power than the single planes all the way to 6500 RPM and maybe a little more with a spacer so you might want to keep the Air Gap. It might be faster with it. Is it mostly a street car?

    What size headers and exhaust play in to this, some times big is not better. If it were me I would stick with the Air gap or a Stealth for the velocity.

    I think either the super and the funnel web is going to be to large for your combo with the cam lift and compression . whats on it now? victor jr?

    At 7200 rpm you are going to need an intake rated to flow in that range.
    The Super Victor is rated up to 8000 rpm so it is a little big but the parker funnel web is only rated to 6500 rpm. If you have to choose between the two then the Super Victor is your better choice.
    I think you are going to find the heads are marginal at that rpm....

    Actually....the Parker has shown to be much better with a plate system. Runner to runner distribution is better than the Super Victor or the Victor Jr even with a simple plate. The higher end plates on the market (perimeter plates, double cross, etc) will work on the Edelbrocks but the Parker is a killer intake. Period.

    Decent plate. I'd still go for the Parker as long as you can find an original and not one of the chinese knock-offs.

    Does the parker intake clear a grabber hood?
