We have found it to work the best for most mild street applications It is a virtual duplicate of the old Ford muscle parts C90X intake which was the best ever street intake for a SBF and very similar to the Shelby GT-350 high rise intake and it accomodates most any 4150 or 4160 Holley and Autolite/Motorcraft 4 barrel carb. Another plus is that even with a stock air cleaner they'll still fit under most any hood. 219-861-1214 Days OR monymkrssla@aol.com anytime

Edelbrock Performer and Edelbrock RPM Air-Gap are 2 different intakes. Dale, your engine sounds like much more than a mild street application,, certainly wilder than the 302s built back in the day. With your setup designed for more rpm, cam wise and converter wise, I'd go with the Air-Gap,,, but its your choice, of course. Take care.
