Torker 340 listed for $100 locally. Appears to be in good shape. Is it worth it?
IMO, I’d use the TorkerII 340. The original Torker will hang on a cable far away for target practice.Torker 340 listed for $100 locally. Appears to be in good shape. Is it worth it?
They are a GREAT intake with a stick shift car. Automatics will appreciate a good converter with the old torker, still good though.I would have No problem using that old torker.It's far from a doorstop or a wall hanger.It's just inexperience,the 8 hp you loose down low what would cause those who haven't been around that long run from what think is a poor intake.
ahhh the days of rattle bomb building a motor on a beer budget over the weekend. a torker freshly plucked from the scorched earth junkyard with janky adapter and a TQ from a truck you picked up on the way out to the cashier.IMO, I’d use the TorkerII 340.

IF your building on a thin thin budget, it’ll work fine for you and what it is.
the small block one, I say no. Not unless you have 2.76 gears, factory converter and you want to spin a tire off the line. Other than that, no.Is the Street Dominator any better?
Ahhhhhhhhh, them were the days….. oh yea, I remember them fondly. It felt like I found a thousand year old Millennium Falcon slapped together with duct tape and bubble gum shaking to the high heavens approaching dangerous speeds and the drunken lot of us screaming…. Some screaming in fear, some screaming in a chant - faster, faaaaster, FASTER, FAAAASSSSTER!!!!!ahhh the days of rattle bomb building a motor on a beer budget over the weekend. a torker freshly plucked from the scorched earth junkyard with janky adapter and a TQ from a truck you picked up on the way out to the cashier.
slap that sillyness onto a stock compression 318 and slide in a 509 MP bumpstick, send it thru a stock 904 with the line pressure jacked up and end it with a 3.23 peg leg.
wonder why it don't have enough power to pull a drunk ***** off a piss pot, and then grin ear to ear when the TQ 2ndaries hit WFO at 55mph and it feels like it's either gonna take off or all come apart.
i'd say not? maybe a slight edge in the upper RPM say, above 4k?Is the Street Dominator any better?
screams of terror, screams of delight. potato, potahto.Ahhhhhhhhh, them were the days….. oh yea, I remember them fondly.

I have to say honestly, I don’t know what made more noise, the screams or the rattling of the car.
And the bottom of the page camshaft! LMAO!!!!screams of terror, screams of delight. potato, potahto.
I actually stacked a street Dominator against the action plus and factory cast TQ intake on a 318 with a summit cam. The slowest ET/MPH was the SD. Action plus came in second, and the factory cast TQ intake actually made the best ET and MPH. HOwever, all were within about a tenth and a half. I think sometimes a little too much gets made out of street intakes.
Agreed and true. As I said above, it would be for my target practice. Also if the budget is low… go for it.100 bucks. I have one I picked up for 100 4 years ago. As far as wall art or door stop a bad combination ,gearing,tire diameter ,converter, and weight will make that intake bad. But with the right combination it can work.
