On a 426 wedge with 10.5 compression, stealth heads and a cam with about 230ish duration and .550 lift.
In a 4400 car with say a 3000 stall and 3.91's.
Would a performer rpm or a single plane be preferred?
90% street car.
Thanks.

Performer RPM hands down is the best street/strip intake made IMHO

With the weight of the car rpm intake for sure.Subtract 1000lbs and it has single plane all over it.

I used a torker II in a 68 C body hard top sedan 440 car, any lose of tork was not noticed, it pulled hard from idle to 5800, hyd cam with exhast manifolds and a v/s carb
do I like the torker 2? HELL YES!

I had great results with the Torker II
Everyone said to use the dual plane on the
street,but I didn't.
It ran great from idle to 6500. on a 440
in a 67 charger mild build.

RPM is a tried and true proven performer. If you've got the hood clearance for it, do it. You will not regret it.

RPM hands down, on this app. With 4400 lbs to get rolling, I'd stay away from single planes like the plague.

4400 lbs of car? Need the high rise dual plane for sure (Performer RPM). Check hood clearance on
it and DON'T overcarburate!! Good low end and plenty of midrange power!

On a 440 it's okay due to the wider piston size,
but 14 cubes less makes some difference in the VE
comparison on intakes. Usually, a longer duration cam and lighter car helps out the slightly smaller 426 motor, along with the single plane intake.

Waaay best for what you have, x 2

The TorkerII can work! , But its a RPM manifold, not a Torker vs The RPM being Both a Torker and A RPM manifold.

Torker 2 can work with either 500-600 less pounds in car weight, OR a small stroke increase OR a smaller carb around 625-670 cfm with current car weight.
