The "performer" manifold you used in the test as just the performer model, not an airgap, correct? 

Anyone of those 3 engine combinations would be a big grin on your face in a nice light car like a Javelin.

the one is called "Performer".   The air gap one is "Performer RPM"  both by Edelbrock.

Interesting numbers for sure, with the smaller carb, the Torker is better above 5000 RPM or so but overall not that much difference between the two, seems the performer would be the much better choice on a street car, which is not really surprising. 

Who would have though a massive carb like that would be the ticket on a Performer.
