High Rise Intake Edelbrock 7101

[Jotto82]

Being offered a high rise intake. Edelbrock 7101. My motor is completely rebuilt with new stock parts. Maybe 10k on it. I have a 650 Holley on it now. Can anyone tell me if this will be compatible as a “bolt on addition” Or will I need to do some other work on it to have the truck run decent? Runs excellent now. I do want to add hp, would this be a good piece to add?

Edelbrock Performer RPM intake manifolds have a high-rise, dual-plane design. They produce incredible top-end horsepower, while retaining good throttle response. Performer RPMs have larger plenums and runners to match the free-flowing exhaust, high-lift cams, and other modifications of a high-output engine. They're intended for high performance street or competition engines that run from 1,500 to 6,500 rpm.

I did look the part up. More curious if I can just add it and be done or if I’m going to have to buy more parts to make it functional

nothing is ever bolt on . . . .

and thats more a mid to upper end intake .

to get upper power you loose a little lower end . . . and vise versa .

our big heavy trucks need lower end and torque to get them rolling .

good old saying : torque gets you rolling and horse power keeps you rolling .

Sounds like at this point it not a good addition. I truly just don’t know what works and what does

If your block is 86 or older then it will "bolt on", but like mentioned before it probably wouldn't benefit your stock engine very much. A 2701 would be a better choice.

Performer RPM is an excellent manifold, but not my first choice for a stock 350 rebuild. Plenum volume and runner cross section are both a bit on the large side for that application. You'll notice a slight decrease in off-idle torque compared to either the stock iron or Performer (2101) manifold, but possibly slightly more power in the mid-upper rpm ranges.

With stock internals, the stock iron unit is pretty tough to beat, but a 2101 Performer can give it a little bump in the midrange without sacrificing power down low.

I want to get to 400+ HP. It’s really hard not knowing which way to go. I should probably just buy a kit for the top end and be done with it.
