What intake to go with
Is the Edlebrock Performer intake the only one that will fit under a shaker hood without having to mess with it. Also what year model Trans Am hoods will fit a 73. I have a Holley Street Dominator that came on the car but everyone has told me to get rid of it and go with a dual plane intake. The carb on their now is a Holley 750 with vacume secondaries. I have a Holley 800 Double pumper thats a spread bore is that a better carb to go with or should i just find a Q-Jet.

The Holley Street Dominator intake is a fairly desirable single plane/medium rise intake, that is no longer available - if you clean it up well, and have a nice listing on eBay I suspect you could get some good money for it (it's one of very few aftermarket intakes that will fit under the hood of a second gen firebird - including a T/A... I wouldn't advise getting rif of it...)
I believe the "Performer RPM" is the commonly recomended edelbrock intake - if I recall correctly, the non-RPM exibits less bottom end power than the 'RPM'... but I might be wrong... A hood from any 1970-1976 firebird will fit properly on any 1973 Firebird... |

rpm won't fit under the shaker.
performer will. your 6211 holley makes a wicked street carb if you have a combo that can use it - stickshift or a good amount of stall, and reasonable gearing. intake wise, a dual plane will indeed make a bunch more bottom end then a single plane like your holley.

How wild of a combo R U running?
How about the new Hurricane / Tomahawk . Fits under the hood and supposed to perform similar to the Performer RPM. It is also a single plane, so a slight loss of low end may come into factor. Depending on your combo.

I bought the car recently so i don't know what the insides look like yet. It lopes when running but i can't really drive it because both front tires are flat and it needs some front suspension work. I was wanting to get an idea of what kind of intake, cam, and carb setup i would need to occomplish this. It will mainly be a street car with a couple of days at the track each month. I was wanting to run mid 12's when i was done with it.

Larry Navarro, who is a member here has developed a drop base air cleaner assembly that will allow you to use your original shaker top with an Edelbrock RPM intake. I have one for my 76T/A and it is great. Here is a link to his order site and his webshots site to see some pics of it.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world.
