I like the performer rpm and I hope to replace my old school performer with one sometime soon. Just not sure about hood clearance though, it's pretty tight as it is. I might have to remove the hood pad. What are the cam specs.

What size pipe is that? Will the RPM fit under the stock hood?

2 inch from the looks of it.... and if the rpm doesn't fit.... I'll cowl it.😉 now that I have the transmission. I've got the ram air manifolds on order..... last big thing I'm missing is that rear end.....

I'll have to check the build sheet, I went one size smaller than the ram air 400 camshaft as not to ruin the idle.... I'll get back to you....

I just got my new cam in today from Butler and I am picking up some 6x-4's tomorrow. I think the next few weeks are going to be busy.

I wish I had been able to get a 400!

I've heard of shaving down the heads and manifold to get more compression on the 400...
