Intake?

[Dusty1]

I stuck the Torker intake I had on my built 340 w/ Holley 750 DP Ultra w/mechanical secondary. Will an intake really make much difference? Thanks

Sure, a single plane on the right engine could be a 20 or 30 hp difference in the higher rpms, over say, a dual plane. Any component
that restricts air flow will hurt engine power. Not that there are not some decent dual planes.

Isn't the torker an old single plane? I saw Chryco recommending the rpm air gap.

An intake can hurt or help power , it depends on the the design of the intake & the components matched to the intake powerband , using a stock cam with a tunnel ram or conversly using a race roller cam with a 4500-9000 rpm powerband with the stock dual plane 2 bbl intake is not going to make you happy LOL .
It all comes down the having the cam, intake, carb head flow , converter etc all working the best at the same RPM
