I have allways said that IF you decide on a TorkerII-340/360, that this intake works well if your going to want to ignore the lower RPM range. I est. @ approx. 3000/3500 RPM's for most street machines.
Now the cam they used in the rag article was IMO a bit (LOL) bigger than most guys will run on the street. And with such said cams in use, a good bit of converter and gear are going to be employed to have it all work well.
I never complained about my TorkerII/360.
Also, IMO, the Holley Strip Dominator, was not out to its potential.
