They said the torker 383 had minimal loss of low end torque even though its a single plane intake. But I wonder if it was fitted with a turtle kind of like you would do the mopar M1 intake to help with fuel distribution would help bring back that low end torque loss. Just realized that the Magnum intake pictured below would not be distributing fuel but air flow. But would the turtle help with a carb? Not real sure now that I think about it.
This is a Mopar M1 intake for a magnum 318 or 360 but the idea is the same. Center it in the floor of the intake.
