Obviously the T-II is working great for you. Have you tried any other single plane intakes? Seems like a lot of people would have tried a modified/ported RPM, have you been down that road too?

I'm blown away by the performance you're getting with those 3.08s. Gives me hope that I can do something similar with 3.23s and a slightly smaller engine.
I started just with a torker 2 no spacer on the old car because of hood cleanance issues with the shaker.I set up a modified shaker and air cleaner and used a one inch open spacer picked up about 2 tenths and 2 mph.I also tried a 4 hole spacer but it never ran as quick as the open.With the new car I started with the same spacer but could use a good 14 inch by 4 inch filter..was running basically the same even with less gearing with the new car.I later swapped the one inch open spacer to a Wilson 4 hole tapered spacer.which picked up the 60fts slightly and added maybe .5mph and picked up half a tenth.I also started using a Spectre cowl air cleaner setup with a 4 inch filter drawing only outside air which also picked up mph slightly.Last year I experimented with a rpm intake...it didn't work out well..lost 60 ft time which was surprising and was way off on the mph..I quickly swapped the torker 2 setup back on .This spring I swapped the current Torker 2 on that Derek ported and picked up a solid tenth and mph...
