I really liked the Air Gap on my last engine and sure wish I went with it this time too. On the last boat/engine, it gained about 200 rpms with the Air Gap over the Torker and about the same over the Performer 2/0.

:D I've used the Air Gap on small and big blocks and IMO have allways gained something. The cooler the intake charge the better...Mike :hammer2:

Running the Performer RPM Air Gap on my 454. Love it. I'm only spinning an "A" at 4700 without the N2O but it works great. Rebuilt/cammed my 454 this winter for some more power ( about 400) but new loader seems to have evened it out. :supp: She sure runs hard.

Running the RPM air gap on my 468 and love it. Great power, and when cruising it doesnt suck toooo much fuel. I didnt get the polished one, but wish I would have now. :cry:

I used the RPM manifold on a couple of motors and they work great for a mild performance motor. If you are running a forced induction setup (turbos) I think you would benefit much more with an open plenum type manifold like the Victor or Victor Jr. The need and effects of a dual plane manifold kind of become useless in a forced induction situation.

I would belive the "air gap" intake would make more sense on a engine with a cover or hood over it. As in a auto...can't see any advantage having it on a open engine boat.

until you see the condensation on the runners after a WOT run. I had never seen that before on the runners, on the spacer yes, but not the runners. The Air Gap works real well and as I said earlier, I should've gone with it instead of the single plain Team G.
Speaking of which, anyone interested in a Team G open plenum? I went with this intake due to it having a larger plenum than the Victor Jr. It works real good on the top end.

What cam are you guys running with this manifold? Carb? I have a a stock bottom end (2bolt 454) and am looking to upgrade intake/cam IF you guys thing my bottom end can handle it...stock bore, cast pistions ect. My new heads are on the way......looking for an upgrade from the performer 2-0. Any hints?? :idea:
