So many intakes not enough $$$

Single plane vs.dual plane. The Torker II is a single plane.
Some guys swear that dual plane is best for a street car.
Some say single plane for a stick car or a car that sees more strip time than street.
Dual planes make power down lower in the rpm range say,1500 up.
Single planes start making power in the 2000/2500 range and all depends on the total package,cam,carb,gears and the like.

I've found this to be a bunch of BS both in practice and in dyno time. i've tried a bunch of intakes. The best 2 intakes to be the edelbrock performer RPM and the victor. The tradeoffs were small, the RPM range doesn't change much. Here is what I found...

The RPM will make torque sooner and peak similar. It will fall short on both numbers. It has some obvious lacking in fuel distribution cylinder to cylinder.

If you aren't running a lot of gear or have a lower stall speed, the RPm is the way to go on a street car.

To the OP, when you're poor you run what you have. An intake can be changed down the road.
