Edelbrock Air Gap Cheap Knockoff
Making torque at higher rpms is better for power, HP under 5252 rpm is less than a 100% of Torque, 5252 rpm and above hp is 100% plus, in other word torque is less effective of making hp at lower rpms. eg.. hp% of tq @ rpm, 50% @ 2626 rpm, 100% @ 5252 rpm, 150% @ 7878 rpm etc...
As for intakes I'd want to see a few dyno shootouts, the 318 build is cool shows the intake capable but doesn't mean the edelbrock wouldn't do better, as for the loss on the stroker something i'll keep in mine, again like to see some shootouts, but my guess edelbrock is probably better most of the time.
