Curious about single and dual plane manifolds. When do you want one over the other? Does it matter if you have fuel objection? I have a 302 with aftermarket edelbrock pro Flo EFI. I believe its a single plane. Am I shooting myself in the foot?

I've had both, and it seems to me like single plane seemed to have more top end.

They are both correct. With ur combo u probably want to go with a dual plane. Single plane will kill your bottom end power

With the introduction of the Performer RPM, single plane manifolds have become pretty much extinct on street cars. If you want a bit more top end than the RPM can offer (7000+ RPM), you can throw on a 1" open element spacer. But, if we're talking about an EFI engine, you are either misinformed about the application or are referring to box upper intakes
