have a dart 340 with a crane cam 340 x heads a holly 750dp and a torker 2 intake had 410 and switched to 3.23 so i could cruise but lost all low end what soever would a different intake make a difference on ow end at all would it be worth it to get a daul plane intake instead of the torker 2

The Torker is more meant for 3000-7000 rpm and with that 4.10 gear probably worked good cuss you kept the revs up. Now with the 3.23 gears you'd be better off with a dual plane like the Performer. Before you do change though go get yourself a 4 hole 1/2" wide spacer for between the carb and manifold and try that. It helped the Demon on the bottom end and I'm using a single plane but with 3.91 gears.
 
I'm running Performer RPM with a Holley 750, topped by a 1" drop base (14" X 3") air cleaner on my '68 Dart. Engine is a 383. Air cleaner is Trans-Dapt.

I have a stock (OEM) GTS hood. No clearance issues.
 
Watcha got now is the dreaded mis-match of engine and driveline. The dual plane intake will most certainly help but not as much as a smaller cam plus the dual plane to match the numerically lower gear.

It's all a system and one part effects everything else. :)
 
What's the cam specs?

If you don't have a least the minimum recommended gear for the cam then out of luck and will never get the low end back like it was with the 4.10.

But if you wanna do it anyways heres what you should do...
RPM manifold, highest initial timing it'll start with, limiting the total advance to what ever it likes best.
That pick up the bottom some, smaller carb might snappin it up off the line but over all the HP power will be down a lil.

If you wanna quik test on how much pep the timing mod will give you, just take out the heavy advance spring from the distributor and go drive it after lowering the idle cause now you'll be at 18-20* at idle meanwhile the total will stay the same as it was as long as you didn't turn the distributor.
With the 1 spring gone the centrifical force will allow the instant advance to 18-20*
