Thanks for the info. If you search this site for Torker II you may find a thread (I think I started it) with responses from folks who have used the Torker II. Didn't seem to be a popular intake with poor street manners according to responses, but I wouldn't have to change my hood with one. It's pouring here on the coast. The ducks are pleased. I gotta get outside and off this forum - I'm getting addicted to it.

Default Torker II

I'm running a Torker II on a 383 SBC with a 1" spacer and drop base air cleaner and still have about 1" of clearance to the fibreglass on my '77 stock hood. I have no insulation under the hood. With 3.31 rear end, I can fry the tires from a 10mph rolling start until I shift into 2nd.

What else do you have done to the engine? What is the spacer for? I don't think I've ever really understood what it does. Have any dyno numbers?

Im running the Holley Street Dominator too. I modified it to bolt onto a rec port head, did a bit of porting and added runner extensions into the plenum. I use a 1/2 inch spacer 950 Holley and only just get a modified 3" drop base aircleaner under a stock BB hood. The motor runs sweetly.
