I came across a couple of torker intakes while cleaning the garage this weekend. Also found a torker 2. My question is, are these worth keeping or maybe even trying on my car.
I am currently using a holley street dominater on a 355 with 13:1 comp, ported vortecs, 294s comp cam, and 750 edelbrock. This setup works well on the street and pulls hard through 6500 rpm.
Just looking for some input on whether there is some performance gains from these old intakes, or just hang them on the wall and keep for nostalgic conversation pieces.
thanks
Andy

They still work OK for their intended applications, but have been overshadowed by newer manifolds.

Like you said, hang onto them for posterity b/c they will eventually turn into antiques! pdq67
