Single plane to dual plane usually will pick up some torque at lower RPM and may loose some high RPM horsepower. In many applications, the dual plane is better on the street and the single is better on the track.

+1, i have had a torker 2 and didnt like it very much. put the air gap on it and you will like the extra little low end torque. if it doesnt see 6000rpm very often than you will like it better.

Torker intakes are not the best in general. I've never known anyone thats been happy with it. Def change that intake.

You should feel alot better throttle response and gains thru out the RPM range. Def feel a seat-of-the-pants gain!

you could go along way with getting better heads but just the intake will free up some bottom end torque. it wont be out of this world change but it will help.
