Very interesting, not quiet far from what I expected, but I guess I really just have to decide if I want more power down or up in the rpm range.
Good to know that Snipers work about the same on both intake types.

The Torker 2 is also nice, but if it wouldn't be clearly better than the Northwind I prefer the Northwind because of it looks and the seperate water crossover.

It is RAIV matched as it comes and I believe that my 1233 gasket from Felpro is about the same size... maybe it won't need much work to match the gasket.

I don't understand how I would do the port matching.... If I make the intake the same size as the heads but still use the 1233 gasket, I could make the intake fit to the gasket and get the same result? Or do I miss something?

Edelbrock gasket information here:

https://edelbrock-instructions-v1.s3...rock/61595.pdf

According to Edelbrock the as cast Performer RPM intake port exit dimensions are 1.100" x 2.060"

I've always been under the assumption the FelPro 1233 gasket is about 1.180" x 2.200"

Might be of interest:
