The Edelbrock Torker II Intake Manifold is a single-plane, low-rise design that works well for high RPM and high performance street applications. The low-rise design gives the top-end horsepower without affecting the mid-range. The Torker-II produces gains in top-end horsepower with adequate throttle response. It is ideal for applications where hood clearance is limited. The intake manifold directs the air or air-fuel mixture from the throttle body to the intake ports in the cylinder head. The flow typically proceeds from the throttle body into a chamber called the plenum, which in turn feeds individual tubes, called runners, leading to each intake port.
