has anyone used the edelbrock performer RPM intake on a 68 firebird? ive read where it sits too high and that they've had hood clearance issues. my plan was to use the RPM and a holley carb but maybe not now.

my other option is to use the original cast iron intake and have cliff ruggles rebuild my Qjet. right now that seems to be the better option at this point but I would still like to hear other imput on the RPM set-up.

also, I would like to know other peoples opinion on the original intake and Qjet vs the RPM (or other intake) and holley carb.what combos have worked for you and what suggestions would you make. thanks!!
