Thanks guys!

I am sorry my original question was so vague. There are obviously many factors involved. But, I think the answers you all gave me make sense and settle the argument. The engine we are talking about is a pretty mild 351W with Edelbrock RPM heads and a Holley 670 carb. The cam is a Ford Motorsport "E" (that is all I can find on the spec sheet) and the engine is not a hi revver. So, I think the Air Gap is an OK manifold for this engine.

I am thinking about upgrading to get more power. (about 385hp now and would like 75-100 more hp) I assume I will have to stroke it, change the cam, possibly the intake and carburetor. Any other ideas?

Thanks,

SkipB
