I like the Torquer intake. I have the same one on my 493 with an old NOS Comp Cam 280H. The idle is a very pleasant sound to hear...
I bet it sounds good! I thought it screamed 70s. Engine builder said it's definitely a dinosaur but would work good and look the part. He had lots of success with the Torker and Tarantula back in the day.

Yeah, my engine builder laughed and said I was leaving some hp on the table with the outdated cam too, but the rough idle is 70's correct too..
I had a short vid of it running, but seemed to have lost it when I moved all my old Win 7 stuff to this new Win 10 computer...
