im currently running a perf rpm in a 68b-body(3800lbs) 451low deck eddy heads comp XR286 solid roller holley ootb 850.car runs real good 11.12@120 through the tailpipes,air cleaner,no real tunning.im sure i can squeek 10.99 when the good air comes around or if i open the ex but i like to run in full street trim.was just curious if a single plane intake might work better?i know the car is heavy and im limited for hood clearance and intake choices but i have a line on a torker 383 cheap and was wondering if it would be worth trying?has anyone track tested this?ive read some dyno articles on intake comparisons but id like real track input.

I never forgot that a savvy Mopar tech told me decades ago that the Torker has mixture distribution problems (the orig one not the torker II). reportedly (by many many people) the perf rpm is a killer piece even being a dual plane (as you know if you have room for it). The TM6 is a race piece & no exp if it would benefit you or not. Just me I would search elsewhere for some addit'l gain

Due to the weight of the car I would stay with the rpm intake. That being said depending on the rear gear,stall speed,and shift rpm you may benefit slightly at the track with a single plane intake.I think you would still like the drive ability of the dual plane on the street. I would try the TM6 before the Torker

yes i agree about the weight factor.....the stall is 4900rpm rear gear is 4.10s and shift about 6300rpm go through around 6400rpm or so.finding a TM-6 is possible but im not paying a crazy amount for one.i can get the torker for $100or less.

I would try a 1/2" wood spacer if you have room.

The comparison articles I have seen on B-series intakes have all given the Torker 383 dismal reviews, and the TM6 a middle of the pack grade. The RPM comes out on top pretty much every time for anything but a full on race effort, in which case you'd want to swap for an M1 or Victor.

My sons 72 Dart here has a 400 that runs mid 11's with 3.91's and it weighs 3550 with him in it. With the Holley Street Dominator single plane he ran 11.59 @ 117 and with the Performer RPM he ran 11.55 @ 116. Its a street car he drives to the track and he likes the RPM better as he says it feels much snappier down low with the RPM. The single plane did mph better but the RPM was much better in the 1/8 and it was enough to still run a better et with the RPM. I kinda feel the RPM may be your best choice at your cars weight. Course many times in drag racing you cant be sure until you try it. Ron
thats interesting since hes only running a 400....proves the single plane makes more hp just slightly down on trq.whats his combo what kinda rpm?i have no room for a spacer woulda loved to try one.i guess if i can pickup something cheap enough it wont hurt to try can always go back.

Like Streetwize said...a Holley street dominator would be another option. It's a shame you can't fit a 1" open spacer on the RPM manifold, they respond well to that. The Holley SD would be my choice if I was going to try a single plane on your car. Whether it outruns the RPM or not, I'd be interested to see.

Of those intakes I'd try the TM6. Every dyno test intake shootout I have seen the Eddy TM6/TM7 and Holley SD give some of the highest average HP figures at "track" RPM levels.
I have a TM7 on my 440. If you can get a manifold cheap, try it. We can all guess but you need to try it to see what it does if you want the real answer.

Street Dominator, Torker 383 and TM-6 are all old single plane designs.
Read the results and try to figure.
A lot depends on your heads. Note the difference between Part 1 and Part 2, with pretty stock 906s vs MCH Edelbrock heads. That shifted things around a bit.
For the larger engine, I'd look at higher rpm results, especially if you're running some good heads. And if you're not, why bother?

I have both a TM-6 and a Torker and there was no difference in the car running either intake.2 inch open spacer on both intakes.

I thought I just saw a low deck M1 for sale around here or FABO for a good deal.
EDIT: Charger453 has it posted in the race section.
