My Dakota slowed down when I replaced my factory cast iron square bore intake with one. 3 mph at the big end.

I had one for years on my 360, sold it on Ebay last year for 35 bucks no one wants them, I don't think most guys on here think to highly of them, but at least you didn't pay very much for it.

edelbrock performer RPM would be a great upgrade.

X2 or even better the Air Gap. It's been told to me, take it for whatever, but a street car is best with a Dual Plane manifold, and the torker and torker II are both single plane maniflods.
While I think $60 is a decent price, the intake is best used as "On the Cheap" intake. I would not use it with a small cam, converter or low gear set. The intake can and does do fine for being a old unit. However, once the RPM came out, it was done.
Should you build the engine with the TrokerII, build a stout mill. The intake makes a minor come back over the RPM in power some where after 3500 RPM's. SO, if your OK with ignoring torque output below 3500, then have at it.
Port match it and add a 1 inch spacer to it at most. It is capable to run in the 11's and still use pump gas.

This is an OK manifold if you don't expect it to be a "torker." --That is, if it's on the right engine build. Really poor name, and Edelbrock STARTED this "poorness" with the very first "Torkers."
I once put on on my 440, took off a perfectly good Edelbrock 180* and yep, the car slowed down, at least in the "torque" range.
Vic must be still laughing at all us supidos that bought 'em.

..............Torquer it is not.........likes 3500 stall and bigger cams, also needs 10 to 1 compression to work decent........kim.........
Should have been smelted back down to make more LD340's... 
Probably the worst SB mopar aluminum intake manifold ever made.

Probably the worst Edelbrock intake made, but not the worst SB Chrysler intake made. It does well in the dyno shoot outs. I'd rather say, it has it's purpose in life on a engine. Just not a street intake unless it is a pretty well built slightly radical build.
Since the RPM came out, I see no need for the intake IMO. I do think it is a great on the cheap intake though.
Met a guy running mid 11's with it back in the day. A 360 CID mill @ 10.5-1. Comp's 296 solid cam, 750, super comp headers, 4.30 gears, etc.... yadda yadda yadda ......
