Which intake is better?

[low&slow]

Hello all again. I have an Edelbrock aluminum torqer intake and an Edelbrock aluminum performer intake. Neither are high rise. Which is better and what's the actual difference?

which one has duel plane would be the better

For high rpm operation....the Torquer (single plane) is better and produces high rpm hp.
For lower rpm operation (relatively speaking...say most operations below 4500rpm)....which is 90% of our trucks, the Performer outperforms...particularly on maintaining torque.
ie: If you have a vehicle over 3600-3800lbs go with the Performer and you will, in most circumstances, see better performance and particularly and importantly....torque.
If you are running or racing a lightweight Camaro or nova or something along those lines...you might have better high end performance luck with the Torquer.

Id go Performer RPM, its in between the two you listed. For a street car the Performer would be better than the Torquer, if those are your only choices.

If you're not racing the performer is the way to go. A little better than stock performance and if you're not a maniac a little better mileage. That is unless you pop a 750cfm carb on a 200hp engine.

I have a 200HP 350 with a Performer and 600CFM Holley with dual inlets (http://www.holley.com/0-80458SA.asp).

It outperforms the quadrajet I had and looks way cooler in the process.

Go with the Performer, my 350 has the Torker and it doesn't have a whole lot of bottom end torque...
