hey fullas,ive got a harrop dual plane manifold on my std stroke 304,ive got an edelbrock 3879 4bbl throttle body on it with a bug catcher.its just a little low on the bonnet for my liking,looks a bit funny with the bonnet half way through the scoop butterflies!i want to raise it about 30-40 mm.is it better from a performance perspective to raise the throttle body from the manifold (increasing runner overall length?)or just raising the scoop higher from the throttle body?adaptor plates etc are no problem for me to make I just want to try avoid wrecking my torque curve ay!

Raising the throttle body won't increase the runner length.

I'd raise the throttle body.
