Let's hear some expertise from some of you big block guys/gals! This question is about my 440...but it's not in either Demon. It's in my 69 Charger - so not an A-body but I figure this forum will still speak out!
The car was a full street car that I raced 30 years ago. Parked it one day when family took over my priorities 30 years ago. Been sitting ever since in my garage. So with both Demons up and running (but never done!), it may soon be time to wake up the Charger.
30 over 440, 9.2 cr (oops!), 292/.509 purple cam, iron heads with mild porting. 750 vacuum Holley on an Edelbrock CH4B intake, Hooker Comp headers (don't remember tube size), 4.10 gear, SS springs, 28x10.5 slicks. 727 with a 3200 stall converter. Car weight 4200#'s...without me!! Yep, a real lightweight! Car was very consistent and ran high 12.50's at 108-ish. No plans to rebuild the engine - I'll replace/refresh the parts needed after sitting so long.
Alright, with all that said, the real question is about the intake manifold. I have a couple other unported intakes for it that have made their way to my house over the years. Have a Torker 440 and a Holley Street Dominator. Looking at these 2 intakes, neither look very good after looking at the Super Victor on my Demon's 408 or the spare Eddie RPM Airgap waiting in the wings for the 408. The Street Dominator looks like a low-rise single plane and the Torker more like a mid-rise single plane. I won't be racing the car regularly as that is what the avatar car is for. And Chargers seem to have escalated in value too much during its long slumber. But it may still see an occasional blast at the track to relive my youth.
So let's hear some tech - CH4B that's on it (also unported), Torker 440, or Street Dominator? And why? I would port any of them this time around but which one? Thx!
