Default Thanks Rob!

I've heard a lot of good things about the Blue Thunder products and if I could fit the 4V intake under the hood, I'd buy one. Unfortunately, I've got to go shorter rather than taller. Ordered the Torker II today. Will install the third manifold on the engine before its been fired for the first time. Long story........

Thanks for your advice.

BTW, I talked with Edelbrock about this and the rep. told me that the Performer RPM is most recommended for street use. However, he claims that the Torker II will pull better at 2500-6500 RPM (expected) and that I will only lose 10-15 ft-lbs of torque at the low end compared with the Performer RPM (skeptical, but it sounds good). 10-15 ft-lbs out of 500-600 sounds like an excellent compromise. I hope he's right. He also claims that this is an older Edelbrock design that they keep offering it specifically for Cobra replica builders due to hood clearance difficulties that we are all familiar with.
