A performer RPm air gap or a Torker II? it seems like it will be a squeeze to get my motor in with a torker II. But I know the Performer RPM air gap fits ok.

 

The Torker II is over an inch shorter. You're not actually choosing to use that piece of dung over an Air-Gap, are you?

 

I already have one< so I will use it.

 

The Torker is probably worse than no intake at all.

 

whats wrong with a Torker? i have an old streetmaster that is essentially the same thing. i love the high rpm power.

 

It's an obsolete design. The low end suffers because of the undivided plenum, but there's not enough volume for it to really perform at the top end. A more modern dual-plane like the Performer RPM will beat it across the entire range.

 

Nice answer! i was pullin your leg to see what you'd say. I am displeased with the lower rpm range of my manifold, matter of fact, i have a performer air gap RPM in my garage ready to be installed. I hope you don't mind me having a laugh at your expense friend. but i totally agree with you.

 

The rpm air gap is a great intake but grab a Edelbrock scorpion or Victor JR.. best way to go for performance IMO

but the torker is ok for street driving not racing

 

I have never been a big fan of the torker intake . the performer air gap is a nice street manifold and with work the victor Jr is great . but for out of the box performance I like the Holley strip dominator imo

 

if were talking small blocks.

RPMs and RPM airgaps are the same height, ive had a camaro and firebird with both.

The RPM air gap will fit with a thin gasket with about an inch of clearance under a firebird hood, using a drop base with a 3" air filter. It will also fit if you use a 1/4" gasket under the firebird hood, but some "trimming" of the under hood frame is required. Quarter inch gasket wont work on a camaro. Matter of fact, i dont know if a holley carb (dual fuel inlet style) will work in a camaro.

An edelbrock or a carter with a drop base and a 3" air filter on the rpm manifold will work fine in both cars.

Whatever you do, if you use this manifold, MAKE SURE the threaded stud that goes into the carb, is SHORTER than the wingnut on top. Otherwise you will have a nice "bump" in the middle of your hood.

Also you will have slighty less clearance, depending on how old your motor mounts are.
