best intake for blowthrew carb setup?
motor is stock L98
the stock cam is
207/213 .415/.430 117 lsa with 1.5 rockers
im doing twin t3/t4 hybrids
.63 hotsides with stage 3 wheels
.50 t4 coldsides 50mm compressor wheels
which one of those manifolds would be a better choice, or is there another single plane manifold that would be a good choice
torker 2

By the way Dave, Englishtown Swap Meet is coming up soon, could probably get my hands on a used single plane in great shape for like $25.00 if you need one....

Re: best intake for blowthrew carb setup?
I'm not familar with forced induction, but I am familar with the Torker II and the Vic Jr. I would not go with the Torker II. On my NA motor I noticed a huge difference when I switched from the Torker II to the Vic Jr. As soon as I put it on, the car would barely idle. I had to retune the carb and change the timing. I'm guessing this was from a drop in velocity in the airflow due to the runners being almost twice as big and the much bigger plenum area. Also, if your looking for as straightline as possible, the the Torker II does not do that. It has a good curve to it.
Heres a pic of the two next to each other.

Re: best intake for blowthrew carb setup?
some of the guys on ttf.com are recomending i sticck with say an performer air gap dual plane manifold given the cam specs and the stock converter
another member is telling me to go with a wieand team g cause it starts to make power around 2k
the way i look at it the hybrid turbos should be well spooled up around 3k and prolly start to spool around 2300-2500
so i quess ill just go with one of the smaller single planes even though this combo isnt going to rev that high prolly put the upper rpm chip in at 5,800-6000 considering its a bone stock l98 witht he exception of intake and carb
