The Performer RPM has the same dimensions as the Performer Air Gap.

The Performer RPM Air Gap is taller. So if your getting a hood, might as well take the Performer RPM Air Gap. But a Performer RPM (not air gap) will easily fit under a stock hood, I have one.

Re: PERFORMER RPM OR PERFORMER AIR GAP RPM FOR THIS COMBO

I'm sure it doesn't hurt to have the air gap.

My 350 came with the Performer RPM on it, so I have nothing to compare to. But the Performer RPM, or the Air Gap or Air Gap RPM seem to be the intake of choice for most. I attend alot of car shows and cruise ins (went to 3 today alone) and all the chevy's and most fords run them if they have an aftermarket intake (some guys have totally restored original equipment cars). On a side note - I saw a 1957 Impala today that was a vert with the original fuel injected V6 - was cool to see a 1957 factory furl injection car.
