TM5 versus Torker and 340 Torker

Tm5(the earlier of the 2)has a lower floor than the newer torker 340 that's about the only difference in them.the torker 2 is way different...way taller and curved runners.I've never ran the torker 2.

i took a performer air gap off my duster and put a torker 340 on it and picked up almost 3 tenths...everyone says they're junk but i think not.

The m1 single plane is excellent on a decent 340/360.i run one on a 69 340 in a 67 coronet,727,3.55 rear and it runs 8.7 in the 8th and gets around 20 mpg when driven easy


Not much all three are about the same. Unless it's on a big inch (416 plus cubic inch or bigger) small block stroker more value/better off throwing them in the smelter at Edelbrock and hoping there is enough aluminum to cast a performer rpm or rpm air-gap. If your going to use one, choose the one with the curved, sweeping runners, I think the 340 torker has the best profile and streetable torque curve for that kind of build on the street, but only with a build for 3000-6000 rpm. Most all street builds much heavier than a go kart will benefit much more from a performer rpm or air-gap. Hughes can do some porting on the 340 Torker that will extend the RPM range, and any of these manifolds can be useful if you need to kill off some bottom end torque to maintain traction. But to answer your question, TM 5 has more volume and taller runners. But the intake bolt port pinch as the runner turns the corner looks none too good, as neither do any copy of a SB chevy intake adapted to a mopar flange with a straight runner taking a sudden angular turn at the port window.
