THIS OUT OF TEXT SOMEWHAT BUT HAS ANYBODY EXPERIMENTED WITH A PERFORMER INTAKE ON A STOCK
BB/C IN A HEAVY BOAT APPLICATION WHERE 99% OF RUNNING IS DONE AT 3000-3500 RPM'S. LOOKING TO TRY A PAIR OF THESE INTAKES AND WONDERING IF ANYBODY TRIED ANYTHING LIKE THIS AND WHICH CARBS
WORKED BEST, STOCK Q-JET OR PERFORMER 1406 (600)
THANKS FOR ANY INFO, ROB
Which big block and salt or freshwater use?, none of the performer intakes are available with bronze lined water passages. At least they weren't when I looked, world products has a few that do that are a bit cheaper than mercruiser options.

I have the performer on a 454 in my Schiada. I use a 750 Holley. It runs very well.
I have been using an oval-port performer with a Q-Jet on a 1" open spacer since 1990 with good
results. Motor is a Gen IV 454, roller rockers, DUI ignition, IMCO Exhausts, etc..etc and has
about 800 hours with no problem!
I hard anodized the intake approx .0015: thick
to prevent corrosion, etc.
