jasperjacko is right on the money with both of his comments. I had a pretty miserable time getting my Performer RPM intake to fit under the hood. What made things worse is that I needed a 3/4" adapter so that I could run a Carter TQ on that square-bore intake...all in all I ended up having to run a drop-base aircleaner (16") and the clearance was still pretty tight.
Anyways, at the risk of sounding like I'm trying to sell you stuff, I do have a Weiand Stealth intake here, it is 7507, supposed to be equivalent of the Perfomer PRM piece. Used piece that along with numerous other purchases over the years is just gathering dust...not sure where you physically are located on our Canuck side (BC maybe judging by the PW reference), but if you want it make me an offer and we'll figure out how to get that into your hands.
For what it's worth, the Performer intake will hold you back, no doubt about it, just think about how that's missmatched to your converter stall speed! I'm a little surprised actually that none of the guys have pointed this out so far, especially in light of the fact that you intend to use your ride as a weekend toy.
You need your combo to be matched, and what I'm gathering from your feedback so far is that you are not primarily focused on having a super smooth idle, great vacum and a completely docile setup. So if you want the giddy-up-and-go setup, why choke it with a small intake?
So here is a little Auto P0rn...who doesn't want to just sit back, crack open a cold one and talk bench-racing on the subject of various auto parts, right? lol
