One thing to note in the story is that the Torker II was modified. I don't know why that was even included since it was not an apples-to-apples comparison with the other "stock" manifolds.

Hey Loco. I think the TorkerII was a good idea to put into the shoot out. Reason being, all the other intakes are easy to find at anyplace, any car meet USA. The TorkerII being a popular intake before the RPM came out for something better than a dual plane but not a racey like part, AKA, Holleys Strip Dominator.

They stated that the TorkerII was modded in a "Run what ya brung" dyno room shoot out. The TorkerII has narrow runners like the RPM. Both intakes use a narrower runner to fit all 340/360 head port sizes that have varied a little year by year. The 318 can be port matched to it since it is not a true large port intake equaling the biggest size stock port Mopar put on top of the engines.

My guess is it was an attempt to maxamize the intake for the last engine it was on by the owner.

Also of note, the plenum is very generous and the runners short.

I would have like to seen some more intakes used. A few off the beaten path intakes and maybe even a "STR" IF they could borrow one.
