Rest assured that if I had use for this, it would be mine. Hope I don't regret not buying it , later.

Torker was never a good manifold and would rather spend $100 on a performer.

I have about the same intake from summit and I didn't care for it. I can't even give it away. Cool that it's that old though.

the single plane manifolds like that are awesome on a car with a manual tranny. but they suck in trucks.

I have used a torker II and a holley street dominator on my Camaros with 4 speeds. and I like them way better than a performer rpm that I have on my 79 Z-28 right now. I will be putting a street dominator on it soon.

single plane manifolds are good for high rpm power dual plane manifolds are better for mid to low rpm range

yeah,i actually have that same manifold,original torker.one of the old ones sitting in my shop right now.have nothing that can use it.you need either a manual car set up basically set up for track or i heard that they work good for some of the self learning efi conversions.

I thought it was mostly cool because of its' age. Original Torker...kinda pimp and "period correct" for our trucks.

My SS runs a Weiand 7546 and always has but I am SERIOUSLY thinking about switching to a STRIP DOMINATOR.

It runs a 670 street avenger and I've got a line on a 770 , but I can't talk myself into it. Pretty sure I'll switch intakes. I built that engine in 2003? and my current combo is good for 12.78, LoL. 100 runs in a row, 12.78. Something has to change or I'll never see 12.5@100 (which has always been the goal).
It just depends. Ima swap gears first and I'm almost willing to bet that going from 3.73 to 4.56 will git r dun. I run out of second gear some 200 feet off the traps and have to shift, it kills me.

Besides the point. Cool intake!! If Babe was a hot rod I would definitely run that.

Here's a cool article I found the other day.

Talk about a cliffhanger.

Hahaha! It's brutal.
Thing is, my rear is wildly stock and unmolested. Switching to Powerglide has been considered, but i've got $1200 in my th-350. Concerned that as soon as I start jacking with my 8.5 inch 10 bolt ima have more in IT than I do the engine!
All steel/all motor/10 inch tire. It's a money thing...
