Intake worth changing?
I have a .030 over 289 with the usual mods: headers, forged pistons, solid lift cam, roller rockers, ported heads, etc. I'm currently using the old Edelbrock 289 performer intake (stock replacement) that has been port matched to the heads. I know I'm giving up some horses here but is it worth changing and if so, which intake is recommended?
Thanks

Hard to say w/o cam specs, but most likely an RPM would help alot.

Weiand Stealth. I had a noticable difference with it over a RPM. Action plus and Performers are basically aluminum replacements for stock iron intakes.

The cheap ebay knock-offs can be bought cheap, and work great with a little clean up with a sanding roll.
