Wieand X-Cellerator or the Redline copy of it seems to be the weapon of choice... the other low-line single plane manifold is the Edelbrock Torker...
Of course, I'm trying to fit a CHI manifold under a shaker in an XY(when those bits arrive)... I think I've gotten lucky with the shaker on my car, I've got tonnes of room to "lower" it over the carb...
I was running that exact set up on an XD with plenty of room. The shaker base however was a slight step down type that hung over the carby a little, which housed a 14 x 3" air filter. I'm sure you'll have room for a party in the XA.
I back up the previous statements.......go the weiand. You'll lose nothing down low - its a great all round manifold. How's this.......got it for $220 in the US!
Edelbrock doesn't make the Cleveland torker anymore, you can pick them up occasionally 2nd hand.
*I think you'll find the xcelerator and performer are almost identical in base plate height.
Depends largely on the spec of the rest of the engine. From what I can gather, the Performer for Clevo's is only marginally better than the stockie, it is howevewr half the weight...
I'd chose a Weiand X-Cellerator/Redline Street Torker over it....
I've had great results using a performer making power up to 5500Rpm. I will try a single plane eventually. As mentioned it depends on the rest of your setup, and where you are trying to make power.
Just seen a parker funnelweb manifold! Its got to be the one. Cant possibly use it with the shaker so it has to go. Anyone using a 2v funnelweb? How does it perform?
