whats next?

Here's the deal I recently picked up a set of headman headers they are going into a dual 2 1/2 inch pipes exiting in front of the rear tires. I'm wondering what 2 do performanxe wise next. I'm debating between edelbrock 750 carb, and a new intake. The intake choices are a weiand action plus and the edel performer rpm. This is a street truck that I'm trying 2 get the most bottom end without sacrificing 2 much top end. Also any suggestions are welcome heads, whatever anybody has idea wise.

Sry forgot 2 mention its a 69 f100 with a 360, 3spd 2whl drive

I would say go for both of them. The carb with a good intake manifold will do wonders for the motor. Although I probably wouldn't go for a 750 cfm unless you're investing and planning on going to a bigger motor soon. A 600 or 650 will fit that 360 better.

[oddball]

yeah the 750 is better suited for a 390 or larger, a cam would help with low end too

[jay1213]

I have 2 do them 1 at a time finance wise. What do you guys think of the weiand? I was just throwin the 750 out there, I can get a brand new 600 4 about 180.

I got a Weiand on my 390. I love it! Been a great intake and looks good. But if you want your stuff to match go with the Edelbrock Performer, it's just as good in my eyes.

[jay1213]

No it doesn't have 2 match and personally I wish I could find a performance carb that isn't chrome or alumimnum. "All chrome no go" I hate shiny stuff on cars and trucks. Now seeing it elsewhere makes me stop and go oooohhhhhh awwwwww

Do not go with a Performer intake!!! You would be better off with a stock one then the Performer. Go with the RPM intake. Much better then the other ones by far. Go to FordFE.com and look up the intake comparo....

For a good carb, I would consider a Holley 650 4160. You will keep your bottom end and have good top end! JMHO

jay1213,

why not get the Dichromate finish on a 600? no shine to it at all, and you could have a new intake powder coated any color to suite you taste




p.s don't look at all the shiny stuff in my sig. (i kid...i kid )

[jay1213]

If I had unlimited funds both of those would work:) this is going 2 be done in pcs so does anybody have a suggestion on which 1 2 do next?

[stangconv]

Hows the Holley 670 streetmaster?

jay1213,

what is your current carb and intake?

[jay1213]

Both stock.

[jay1213]

I know an adapter plate would need 2 b used if I go with the carb first that's not a big deal

why not just keep all your parts on the shelf until you have it all together and then put it all on. that way you'll have a better chance at feeling the improvement in performance and save the money on the adaptor you speak of. just my
