Engine ??? Intake Manifolds
Hello everyone. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with Edelbrock's Torker Intake. My vette currently has Weiand 7546, which is a sinlge plane/open design intake. I thought the Toker, being a lower profile single-plane would develop more power when I use it, idle-4000 RPM. The Weiand website states the 7546's power range as 1500-6000 RPM. Edelborck states the Torker is 2500-6500 RPM.
Am I better off with the Weiand or the Torker II?
Here is what I know about my engine:
350 cu in.
Compression Ratio: un-known
Heads: #3927186; 64cc Cambers w/ 2.02/1.6 valves
Cam: 0.460 Lift & 303 duration (all I know)
Stock "rams horn" exhaust manifolds.
Weiand 7546 intake
Holley 4-barrel 600 cfm

Re: Engine ??? Intake Manifolds (Fevre)
Another option for good bottom end would be the Edl 2101. Its a dual plane design and its dimentions are same as the stock cast iron intakes. im using the 2101 on my 350. I used it mainly to help retain stock height to aid in retention of the factory cowl induction function. Its listed as good from off idle to 5500rpm.

Re: Engine ??? Intake Manifolds (69stingray)
I understand that a dual plane is better for lower RPM, but I am assuming that the engine was set up for street/strip. I guess a better question would be, what manifolds can I use to get more "daily driver" power with the 303 cam without having a "mis-match" and having no power through out the entire RPM band.
