It is an Edelbrock specificly designed for extended high RPM (NASCAR)use. High end Tarantula.  Don't see many these days.  ------------------

I looked at buying one years ago. Talked to Edelbrock about them. They were in the catalogs for only one year. They look like a torker with a 2" taller plenum.
I would bet a Strip Dominator would be better for street strip. I imagine that the Scorpion would be a dog below 4K rpm.
BTW the NASCAR guys still used a "box" intake on short tracks and the Scorpion on tracks that didn't require the revs to drop much.

I found a Strip Dominator for a guy that had a Scorpion. Externally, the Scorpion looked just like a Torker except it was a fair bit taller. The owner had ported the Scorpion so I can't say how close it was to a Torker inside. I never did hear back on how the Scorpion compared to Strip Dominator at the track, though. Dan Jones
