Reply to "Heat Riser & Edelbrock Performer 4V"

Does that Edelbrock Performer have an exhaust gas crossover? I didn't think they did and suspect not going by the gasket they recommended. Not really needed as aluminum conducts heat a lot better than the stock cast iron intake that benefits from the hot exhaust gas circulation.

Assuming the manifold doesn't have the exhaust gas crossover then you don't need a turkey tray, it just gets in the way IMO. It's function is to stop oil buning or coking on the underside of the manifold exhaust crossover. I think most people recommend to install the steel shims so that hot gas is not in direct contact with the gasket. I assume you are not still using the oem stove pipe style choke that is heated via the exhaust gas crossover?

Good luck,
Julian
