Hey Syd...

The air gap manifold is a lot lower than my Vic Jr. The Vic Jr. is a higher rise single plane....it sits up pretty high.

I just don't know what to do yet....I do know my cam isn't allowing me to take advantage of the heads and the intake....The intake and cam are around the same price...and I can reuse my roller lifters and valve springs....

Just don't know what to do...like I said...I know which one would be an easier swap, but I'd say the next cam up from what I got would really turn the engine on.

Right now I'm using a Comp Cam hydraulic roller with a 230 degree duration and a .544 lift. For some reason, Comp Cams recommended this cam to me....I went ahead and took their advice even though the specs say the range tops out at 6000 rpm.

The next cam up is for higher revs...up to 6500....and would probably take advantage of the intake. It's a 244 degree duration and a .576 lift.
