    I need to know if i use an Edelbrock RPM Airgap intake if my carb (right now i have a predator w/ street circuit, and obviously not goin to fit) and breather will fit. I plan on using a Road Demon if i scrap the plans w/ the Predator. Any other suggestions reguarding setup would and will be appreciated.

    Thanx for your time,
    Kyle

    The RPM and the RPM air gap have the same carb height. We have the RPM air gap and a holley 4160 with a 14" x 2" offset aircleaner. We also have the gabber hood, I don't think they have more room but you never know.

    Is that A.C.?

    Thomas; Looks like you're running air conditionning. If so, is that factory unit or aftermarket? Thanks. John B.

    2 questions...

    Is that a ram air setup?

    What is that rubber piece hanging from the upper part of the hood? It appears to have the detail sticker for your A/C and fluid capacity on it?


    That is actually 3 questions!

    Yes the hood is functional, with the removal of the shock towers I was able to put that air box that is made of .050 2024-t4 aluminum sealed to the hood then I made the air cleaner seal to the box.You would not believe how much stuff goes through thoes scoops...........sticks,bugs and sand.

    The engine is late model roller with a t-5 and an 8.8 rear.

    TH, what kind of hood is it? Did you modify one to make it functional?
