if you're looking for all out power and bottom end isn't really a concern, i'd suggest a single plane like a victor jr.
- i did love my chevette (first car) more than my first wife my 94 4.3L Astrobrick would outrun the 99 5.4L f350 i had to drive for work

I agree 100%. I have seen power losses with the pp knock off intake.

its not my car so i dont know for sure but my budddy has one on a 383 and it runs very strong. im not sayin its an edelbrock or anything but i wouldnt say that switching is going to get any huge power gains.low end torque maybe because your going from single to double.

The cyclone and the rpm and air strike manifolds are all dual plane intakes.

Not every thing foreign just every thing from china. I have seen test on the hurricane intake on a Pontiac engine and it made less power then the performer the rpm and the offy intakes and the only thing that was changed was the intakes.

I agree with one in particular that Pontiacman recommended. The Weiand Air Strike. (I have one on my 350) At the very least a Weiand Stealth if you don't want the "Air Gap" style.
