CHEVY GEN III ENGINES GET BOLT-ON POWER FROM EDELBROCK PERFORMER RPM LS1 MANIFOLD FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Click on photo to download high-res image TORRANCE, Calif. (Feb. 6, 2004) – Got Chevy performance? Edelbrock does with its powerful new Performer RPM LS1 manifold (#7118), which is designed for the popular Chevrolet LS1 (5.7L) small-block V8 originally used in 1997 and later Corvettes and 1998-02 Camaros and Firebirds. It also fits the Corvette LS6 engine and other Gen III engines including the LM7 (5.3L), LR4 (4.8L), and LQ4 (6.0L). The Edelbrock Performer RPM LS1 manifold allows the use of a square bore carburetor for maximum performance on these engines originally equipped with computer-controlled electronic fuel injection. Designed to provide a broad torque curve and maximum horsepower in early muscle cars, street rods and marine applications, this new manifold provides power like a single-plane manifold with the throttle response of a dual-plane for optimum performance in the prime range of 1,500 to 6,500 rpm. Initial dyno testing of the #7118 manifold with Edelbrock’s RPM LS1 camshaft and a 800cfm Thunder Series AVS carburetor produced more than 430 hp and 430 ft./lbs. of torque. A unique electronic Ignition Control Module and Harness is included that works with OE sensors and coils to fire the “distributorless” ignition system. A choice of three timing curves is offered. Also included is a throttle and transmission bracket that works with a 700R-4, Turbo 350 and/or Turbo 400 to simplify installation of these modern engines in non-computer controlled vehicles.
