I cannot speak directly to the Torker II.

I did several engine dyno pulls on my 500" motor with the Indy dual plane, Six Pack, and Holley SD. The 4 bbl was a small venture 950 Holley type carb. You can spend hours in the weeds dissecting all of the data, but the bottom line is they were all pretty close to each other. The six pack was better than the SD but weaker than the 2D up to 4200. After that the six pack trailed them both.

FWIW, I track tuned my six pack set up on a 440 with a small hydraulic cam. My best ets/mph were achieved with jetting similar to the MP engine manual. I slapped it on the 500 on the dyno and ended up with the best numbers coming with only a slight increase in jet size. I just don't think the six pack is that hard to tune or that far off.

From what I've heard so far seems the six pack with the standard holleys is definitely worth a try first. I'm going to go with that for now and set up a baseline at least. I'm hoping for some respectable numbers with the tweaks you all have suggested. I don't actually have the stroker kit yet so anything's still on the table but the bigger inch motor seems to me a no brainer since I'm looking for the maximum push on that 4000 lb car. Torque is king on the street, right?

I would do the 6-pak, but since the motor is not "stock", the first thing I would do would be to invest in a set of ProMax 6-pak jet plates to allow the outboard carbs to be properly jetted. Ben at Promax will even recommend jetting that should be close for your setup.

They also have a replacement base plate for the rear carb to allow you access to the mixture screws without having to remove the carb.

I have not read through any of these posts...... but the six pack is very very cool..... But from a performance standpoint..... A single plane giving yourself as much plenum volume as you possibly can, even using spacers is the way to go........all though's cubes need plenum volume, no two ways about it.....

The six pack can't be matched for cool factor, especially when installed period correctly on a matching car. Performance is good, but every dyno test I've seen puts the Eddy RPM and a single Holley above it. I'm sure the Indy dual plane tests out similarly. For performance in a street car, My vote would be a good dual plane and a single Holley 1st, the 6pak 2nd, lose the single plane.

Im no expert of any kind but my experience whit the Six Pack setup on a 440 and a 505 stroker is the same as Cab is trying to explane but i gueas that some of you out there tryed out bad carbs that some one had destroid before you got your hands on them and tryed it out

I found a great articel explaining how they work and how to tune the carbs that whas writen by a Dr. Jerry Binder that i can recomend you reed and i can email it to you if you PM me whit the email

If you whant i can share the jeting i ended up whit on my setup

Im going to try a progresive six pack kind of carbs for next summer from Barry Grant but i have to make the outer carbīs venturi larger first

I think the BG six-shooter mechanicals have far less cfm than the stock units...

Yes Mr Yuck they are smaler on the outboard carbs but i wrote that im about to enlarge the venturiīs on those the pic show tha carb body from the BG verses Holley ! The BG should flow 355 cfm and the Holley 500 cfm and as you can see the anual booster in the BG is bigger and there are 8 feeding holes under the booster but the venturi is a tad smaler and im going to copy the opening area from the Holley to those BGīs in al 4 corners

We got 45 Moore hp with this custome sheet metal six pack intake , compaire to a max ported Edelbrock Victor with a 800cfm carb.

We put allot off work in the carburator and the trottle respons is awesome,,,, 60 feet time 1,251 with trans brake and 3250 Pound car.

Does it help to port or gasket match the six-pack intake?

My 6 pak is on a SB 416. It has been port matched but other than that the manifold is as delivered. On the dyno it made 499 HP. We took that setup off and put on an RPM Airgap and an Holley 750 HP. We changed nothing else to optimize and the jets were as they were in the dyno mule carb. It picked up 39 HP with just the carb/manifold change. I have heard that the BB 6 paks are better than the SB but that's my story.

I'm porting a SB Mopar 6-pack. I've been told by a SB expert that they just port match and that's about it, also said the Mopar piece may be slightly better the the old Eddy. I'm going deep with the porting and using a 6" long bit along with 6" long tapered sanding rolls. The ports are not to bad as far as core
Shift but there is a lot that can be removed from the ports all the way in. The big problem seems to be the 90* turns I can kind of radius the high plane side of the manifold but the bottom plane will have to be done by hand with strips of sand paper and a lot of patients. All in all probably minimal gain for a ton of work! Plus side is I'm using the old DC mechanical carbs that flow closer to a true 1050 to 1100.

i'm with you on the port matching as this eddy 440 six pack manifold has lots of cor shift. i'll also be going up as far as I can in the ports and smoothing out all the 90's.

Ok so how would the Weiand six-pac intake stand up to the single 4 intake? I hope better because that's what I got. Man it looks wild!

Is it the 6-pack "Ram" style w/ the top plate? If so yes, it's a good intake.

I gues you are talking about the Tunnel Ram Six Pack intake from Weiand that Direct Connection sold under there partnumer as the pic show !? Many say that this intake works great as a Street&Strip intake but it is no good for the hood clearance....

Big blocks work better with 6 packs..Id bet anything that the disparity would be FAR less...

I have made nice power with a 6 pack-in both standard and stroker applications....I dont find them difficult to tune at all and can work VERY well with stroker motors..

The Chevrolet version on the Corvette's are terrible, IMO and the single Holley on those work WAY better..

The photo is of a 526 I did for an A12 bee, but Ed Cooks A12 FAST cars both ran 10.70's with the manual trans A12 going 130MPH, set up just as the way it is in the photo..manifolds and bias tires..
