The Torker is a boat anchor. And a bad one at that.
I spent my early driving time taking junk like that off, adding a SD and watching the times get quicker.
A poorly run dyno test means little. Most every dyno accessible to us mere mortals doesn’t measure an engines ability to RPM. Transient response is critical in getting the car to accelerate faster. Very few dyno’s do that.
I was running a stock 340 that was probably 9.8:1 with a SD and 1.75 headers running 109.XX MPH in 1982.
And it was probably 2 MPH down because the clutch and my clutch tuning was horrible.
