In that test in the States in whatever magazine it was can anyone remember which 440 inlet came out on top? Victor s/p or Performer RPM d/p? What cam did they have? TIA!

im sure i have that in one of the mopar muscle mags , i will se if i can find it , i think the performer came out better for all out performance .

Agreed, the Eddy is the golden child according to the mags

Eddy Performer RPM, not Torker?

I hope it's the Torker, I've got that mag somewhere and I'm sure I read that the Torker was the dog's conkers...if I'm wrong, anyone got a Performer?

Sorry. I meant Victor or RPM Performer

Be careful you do not just compare the peak hp numbers when comparing intakes. Look at the 'area under the curve' in the rpm range you use between gears.

Peak power is not the whole story.

That's true Dave - I think that test did give the average HP numbers too from memory. Not as much info as the HP in the gear range, but at least a guide as to how peaky or broad the curve was.

Alternatively I could be completely misremembering, it's hard to say

It was in mopar action, cant remember which one won but they decided a single plane was the way to go(still got a dual plane on mine tho' )I think they've got a victor on their 496 roadrunner project car
I found my old 383 with the torker was a bit peaky for a full weight b body but it depends on gearing, converter etc as it had gone mid 13's in a roadrunner before I bought it

I read a dyno test of Edelbrock's Performer, Performer RPM Air Gap, Torker II and Victor Junior. Can't remember which motor it was on though, but guess what works on one V8 works on another...

Anyways The RPM Air Gap slaughtered the Performer at the top end, the Torker II couldn't match it low end and the only manifold that made more power was the Victor Jnr, but at the expense of bottom end.

There were graphs and stuff, I reckoned the RPM Airgap looked like the ideal street performance / moderate strip use intake.

Now is there an RPM Airgap for your motor?

Air gap is SB

Bum.

Guess the Victor Jnr would have done better on a more agressively cammed motor with big heads as well. Magazine articles can only tell part of the story unless they test a bunch of builds

What I'm after is whether the new RPM Performer dual plane would work as well at the top end as the Victor as my cam range is 2100-5900 and the Performer is rated for 1500-6500 and the Victor is rated 3500-7500. I already have a TM-7 which is single plane and rated at 3500-7500 so if the RPM is highly rated I'll go with that, if not I'll stick with me TM-7

You could just try out the TM-7 and if it seems to be restricted whack in a bigger cam

What, bigger than a .572
