Just want to ask a simple question.... Which would be better to have in you guys opinion?

1. a 600 -650 carb with a torker intake(have intake)?

2. or leave it tpi?

This is what i have: 350, with a .498'' lift comp cam, world class comp heads, roller rockers, headmann headers, borla street/strip exhaust. the motor was in another iroc of mine that ran 13.20's in a 1/4. with a 750 dp edlebrock carb, and an performer intake.

Apeiron

Keeping the TPI would by far be the easier and cheaper solution. The only thing a Torker should be put on is a junk pile.

TPI or say miniram,Lt1 intake,stealthram,superram

RocsRose86

why in a junk pile? That torker was on my other iroc b4 i junked it with that same motor running 13.20, I thought that was pretty good. But i am just really getting into building my own motor. anyway i like the performer series also. I just want a clean set up.


I have a ram jet, tpi and an lt1 intake and plenum. I wanted to make it look stock, but have it when i want it. I got the ramjet off the motor when i bought it from summit. the lt1 is from my old vette, and the tpi is the stock manny that was originally on this car. but i dont have any of the comps, what should i get if i go that route?

Apeiron

The Torker is a very old, outdated design that's surpassed in performance by pretty much any other intake, including a stock one.

RocsRose86

Well what do you suggest then?

rpm air gap... or knock of i got a summit stage 3 airgap knock off for like 189

Apeiron

Performer RPM, or RPM air gap, or whatever Weiand's current equivalent is.

also the victor or victor jr. dart's manifolds are pretty good also.

Apeiron

A Victor wouldn't be a good choice on his engine.

true the victor jr wouldn't be bad though. no worse than the 750 that was on it before.

Well I wanted to put the anniversary holley 4 brrl but didnt have enough cash in hand at the time. Any other carb and intake setup suggestions? I really want her to run and scream,but be subtle at times.

RPM airgap with a 650 holley DP carb... Or a weiand team g with a 650dp

RocsRose86

Okay fellas tell me if this is ok. And which to get.

1. a edlebrock 600 cfm or a holley 600cfm for a $140 each?

2. Edlebrock performer rpm intake or a edlebrock rpg $75.00 each?

RocsRose86

this is on a budget that is why i ask.

Apeiron

I'd take the Holley over the Edelbrock, but it would maybe depend on which Holley it is.

Where are you seeing an Edelbrock "rpg"?

jstoltz

iTrader: (16)

I think he meant rpm I would definitely go with the holley also otherwise just find a quadrajet for about $25 and rebuild it instead of $140 for the Edelbrock

RocsRose86

yes rpm. the holley is a 600 anniversary quaddra-jet.
