hey guys and gals just wondering if anyone knows if i swap from an old style rpm dual plane to a newer style torker 2 single plane intake would there be much performance change I am running a 5.0 with 72 cnc ported heads bigger valves and a crane powermax 2040 camshaft with a 5 speed and 373 gears and 650dp also which one would be better on the spray. i aready have both intakes rpm works good but was wondering about the torker 2 thx for any replies

If you plan on swapping.I would swap to the new rpm air gap intake.

a single plane intake with those heads would probably fall on its face

air gap for sure but if you are gonna lay a war waggon of nitrous on it the single will work best.you still getting my 4.88? let me know!!!

Just throwing another option out here,the Weiand Stealth intake has all the benefits of a dual,and single plane. MM&FF used it in one of their dyno comparisons a few years ago,and it was pretty impressive on the dyno numbers.Another good one is the one by Professional Products,that is identical to the RPM air gap(but much cheaper!),I think it's the typhoon,but I'm not sure of the name!

stay away from the profesional products!!!! I have had them and seen them with major issues ports didnt line up runners were cast bad and other issues.

I have a buddy with a stock bottom end ,out of box twisted wedges, b cam. edelbrock rpm air gap intake and runs 6.60's all day on a 175 shot

Good to know!,I've heard their balancers were shit,but never really heard anything bad about the intakes though.

I have ran all of the dual plane intake, and single planes from Ed. If you are goin to run all motor and some high rpms, go with the Air gap will be just as fast as the Victor jr. If youare goin to run NOS, I would go with the Victor jr. The air gap intake is 5-7hp less than the Victor jr, but torque is higher than the victor jr. PM me I have more info for ya............

I had a Edelbrock Performer Airgap on a 308 with AFR185 heads. I just swapped to a Victor Jr. so I could up the N20 shot, I was told not to go over 150 on the dual plane intake. When I first drove the car after the swap I foot braked it and I thought I really screwed up, lost alota bottom end torque. But then I tried it on the trans brake and WOW, it pulled harder. If I was never going to spray it alittle and it was more street then strip I woulda stayed with the Airgap.

same results here, but was told by a few people at edelbrock to cap it at 200 max 175 safe I have had good luck from the torker 2 on small cube engines with nitrous.

So what intake did you finally decide to use? I am going to the track this weekend and see what the times are.
