whats better, a stock 340 or 340 torker intake?

When I was young I tried all kinds of things and I can say that the quickest way to kill low end performance and make the car slower is to bolt on a high rpm single plane intake. The only way it'll even work at all is with a 4 spd. or auto with a real loose converter and low gears (4.11 or lower). I've tried the old style torker twice and neither time did it work well. The torker 2 is a whole different ball game, but that's not what you said you have.

In your case I'd use the stock intake. They were decent intakes.
