Anyone have any real world experience on the Edelbrock Performer RPM, Edelbrock Performer RPM Air Gap and the Edelbrock Torker II? Whats the main difference between the RPM and the RPM Air Gap? Also would it be better to chose the torker II since its a single plane, or for my combo is a dual plane better suited? Leave at 2400-2600, shift at 6100, traps at 6200.

It all depends on your combo but for an all around street/strip intake on a mild to moderately built SB the RPM Airgap is a winner (it trumps the regular RPM by a few HP due to a cooler charge because of the air gap under the intake).

I have used the RPM Air gap on a few different combos. I was very pleased with the performance from it. I used it on my 340, and the total combo had a nice power curve right to 7000rpm. We have also used it on a 434ci. It STILL worked to 6300rpm on that engine! I was quite surprised!

I have not had any personal experience with the performer RPM, or the Torker II. From the looks of it, the performer RPM has the same runners as the air gap.

however, if you are set on running a single plane, the Torker II would not be my first choice. From what I have seen on here, and I will be testing personally, the victor manifold is a much better single plane intake. Last year, I ran a Super Victor, and I was quite happy with the performance from it as well.

We played with a tq 2 and a air gap on a 360, air gap worked better, tq2 with a 750cfm air gap with a 850cfm annular, 10.5 motor with a hyd roller in the 230s@ .050 with a 3k vert, pulled to 6500 with good bottom end

I went from a t-2 to a victor 340 and picked up 3 tenths.Both intakes had work done.

Very happy with my RPM. Much more impressive than the LD340 I had. Air Gap is worth about 5hp at the flywheel and I was going to go with it, but found an outstanding deal on an RPM that didnt make 5hp worth the extra $$$.

I have run both the RPM and the RPM Air-gap on my old 360 combo...I did not see any difference between the two...both worked VERY well.

The AG worked very well on my 360 and even on my 408 till i swapped it out for a Super Victor.I was so happy with the Air Gap that i didn't even sell it after the SV purchase.I can always use it again somewhere else.

anyone use any of the weiand intakes or everyone pretty much still with the proven edelbrock intakes?

I was hesitant to use the air gap because its a dual plane because my ride has some gear to it, but I have to say between the T2 and the AG, I am really impressed with AG. I did mod mine a little, and that's when it really started to work. I added a blended 1" spacer and modified the divider some, and its now much better with my annular 800cfm carb and it pulls really hard now.....Althought I am switching over to efi, the intake and carb could be for sale.

I too have run the TorkerII, the AirGap and M1 single plane on a couple of small blocks, to see which one was better. The first was my 3100lb Demon with a 360, KB107 pistons, MP .528" mechanical cam (w/1.6 rockers-.563") and unported 2.02x1.60" "J" heads. The car ran the exact same MPH (109)but was overall quicker (60ft much better with RPM AG) comparing the RPM AG to the TorkerII. On the street the RPM was hands-down better at part throttle, which made me like it best. Then on a 416 with 10.5:1 compression, Ultradyne solid .590" cam and OOTB Eddy heads (Comp 985 spring, 10deg lock upgrade) in the same car with the M1 SP as the baseline, I STILL got a 60ft boost but the same MPH (118)with the switch to the AG RPM. I attribute this to the low rpm nature of the 4" stroke motor with mild flowing heads. I think the M1 SP might MPH better on a 3.79" stroke motor, or with Indybrocks or Large Port Commandos on the same 416" shortblock. Now I am putting a 13:1 416 in the same car with a fully ported set of Indybrocks, a Lunati solid roller and a Super Victor , wonder if the RPM AG would pick it up as well..? RB
