The Performer EPS dual-plane manifold is optimized to deliver superior performance with Edelbrock square-bore Performer Series or AVS2 series carburetors. The runner design is "tuned" for peak torque at 3500 rpm on a 350-inch engine and is ideal for power from off-idle to 5500 rpm. Dyno tests showed gains averaging 5+ ft-lbs. of torque from 3000 to 4500 rpm for more performance where you need it most. Match with a dependable Edelbrock square-bore carburetor for maximum performance gains.

The Plasma finishes are applied by a fully automated 7 stage prewash and 4 stage finish. A durable clear powder coat finishes the process.
