Edelbrock RPM Benefits
I dont know about the hood clearance issues ( of course you could get a drop base air cleaner) but the rpm make its HP in the upper rpm range. It supposedly will give a cooler intake charge and increase tq\hp but unless you have a 4-speed setup or a higher stall speed converter, I would say you'll be disappointed in the $$:performance ratio. JM02, but you can always do that later
