Cast from aluminum with a natural finish, the 2701 replaces factory manifolds on compatible stock-deck small-block engines and targets everyday street performance without radical modifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow will this manifold change my engine's performance?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstalled on a compatible small-block V8, the 2701 focuses airflow to increase torque and usable power in the low- to mid-RPM band where street-driven engines spend most of their time. Dyno comparisons to prior-generation Performer manifolds show gains in both peak horsepower and torque across the operating range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNoticeable torque increase from idle through 5,500 RPM for improved acceleration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeasured dyno improvements over older Performer designs in both horsepower and foot-pounds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOptimized for square-bore carburetors to maintain consistent throttle response.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat applications and engine setups are compatible with the Edelbrock 2701?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2701 fits stock-deck small-block Chevrolet (and other vehicle-specific variants where specified) designed for a single, square-bore carburetor without EGR provisions.
