As a footnote Steve how was the Torker vs your Dave Bisshop Holley intake on that motor?

As Steve said the Torker II has some pretty narrow ports. I borrowed Steve's Holley when dynoing my pump gas 455. I also had a Torker II I had to weld the ports taller and spent ALOT of time blending the runners up from the gasket surface, measuring width and height and blending some more. That Torker II and the Dave Bisshop modified Holley intake of Steve's were almost identical dyno numbers. Both had the 3/8" open spacer I can fit under my Shaker.

The height of the RPM we weren't going to use it on my car so it wasn't dynoed.

One other thing about the Torker II it flowed more even between cylinders than any intake other than the Victor I've checked.
