I guess I have been missing it all along with our Edelbrock CNC heads with a Victor intake making over 800HP. There are several ways to get to the end product and you will also find about as many opinions as well.
I most cases you can take the Edelbrock Performer RPM intake and gasket match it and it will support up to 650 to 675HP on most mild solid roller engines in the 482 C.I. range.
Just did a 482C. I. engine with 10 to 1 compression, street solid roller with 242/248 at .050 duration and about .650 lift on a 112 lobe separation. We used the new Pond Motor sports/ Keith Craft head that we designed the ports on for him. All we did to the heads was bowl port with a little short side work and gasket match. The heads had 2.19/1.75 valves and these new heads are on the original medium riser valve centers. Used the Performer RPM intake gasket matched and the engine made 615 ft/lbs of torque with 625HP on premium pump gas. Idles at 700 rpms and cruises at 1700 rpms if wanted.
Have this engine in the new Kirkham that I just did. Easy to drive for the novice just as long as you do not push the gas to hard and then it gets real fun.
Good luck, Keith Craft
