IMO, converter is not the issue if only dropping 50-75 rpm.

Dude, its low and fits under most stock hoods which is very important to some people like me.The 440 Torker II is a big piece of poo-poo. Here is living proof.

It wouldn't hold 600 lb/ft of torque below 3500 rpm and only managed 641.6 hp @ 5800 rpm.
USELESS JUNK!
Just to be clear, the reason i mentioned handling the converter first was that if you decided to change it and had a true 3000ish stall speed you may have the low end grunt your looking for and may be plenty happy keeping the Torker II.

Like I have said, I'm new to Mopars so IDK what to expect but my experience with them on GM engines has been good. My buddy had a Nova with a flat top 350, nearly stock iron heads, a 500 lift 280 advertised duration flat hyd. cam and we got it into the 11.80s at 113 on pump gas and no power adder at over 3300 lbs. The torker II is the intake people love to hate. I will deffinately post my results good or bad.
I'm sure some will not realize that there is sarcasm in this post......lol
Yea, I guess I missed the sarcasim. I just clicked the link and I'd say the motor (a 496 stroker) made good usable power. I'd be happier than a pig in you know what with this motor in my Duster. LOLI'm sure some will not realize that there is sarcasm in this post......lol

No not at all. It was funny and I have very thick skin. He got me and thats that..LOLDoosterfy, i didn't mean to make you the brunt of a joke. I just knew someone sooner or later would mistake what he meant. I hope we're still good:smile:?

any of you guys ever had a torquer 2 flowed/ I did, then opened up the short runners as much as possible to make them flow like the tall runners, not done w/ it yet. when I get done I`ll have it reflowed, will post the diff. for those of you that are interested----bobMy apologies to anyone who feels like I "got them"! I thought it would be obvious, through the dyno results, that I considered the Torker II to be a very good manifold. If I owned a Torker II, which I do, I would not switch it for a Performer RPM and if I already own a Performer RPM, I'm not switching it for a Torker II.
Exactly. The OP's vaccum numbers indicate a not-very-mild cam, and combined with a single plane, the low end will not be good. There is nothing in that combination that will make low end torque. The use of dual planes with mild to wild longer duration cams works because the smaller and longer effective runner size will compensate for the cam's poor low end performance to some degree. (But then the increased high flow restrictions of the dual plane may choke off the cam's abilities at the high end.) So the overall RPM's range will get lower but will still not be very wide, and a WIDE RPM RANGE is what you want for a good street engine.As for the intake. typically a single plane intake will work best above 3000 rpm, not very good below that. Its a total combination of all the parts. A few mismatched parts and the car will be a dog. You will spend forever chasing it with new parts.
Perchance are there numbers from this dyno test from 1500 or 2000 and up to 6500? Great info, BTW.My opinions from months earlier were based on flowbench results. Here we go, two dyno runs, the first with the RPM and the second with with the Torker II. Same engine, same day, only difference is the manifold. Both manifolds were OOTB.

Oh yeah. What engine? Pop's 440.
A 3000 stall doesn't mean the motor has to rev to 3000 before the car moves. My truck has one and it drives normally under light to moderate throttle input. Start mashing the throttle and it flashes to 3000 and hold there until everything catches up and the rpm start rising again. Truck has a 402 MP stroker, punched 20 and crosswind Air Gap.
