It should be a good match to your set-up but I still think there's something
else like lifters/springs or ignition causing the sudden drop.

The Blue Thunder is based on the Holman-Moody high rise dual plane 351C
intake. I believe there were two Shelby 351C intakes (catalog?) One was
the same height as the Ford dual plane and looked to be a copy of the
over-the-counter Holley pattern versus of the Boss 351 aluminum intake.
The other was taller and carried the 351D-9424-D part number cast in at
the base of the #1 runner along with cast in Shelby Racetrack logo. That
one looked closer to the Blue Thunder and Holman Moody intakes.

What is de-porting? Was this an early Torker or late Torker?
I've seen three different versions of the Torker (four if you count the
A331 version). The early Torkers had a cloverleaf plenum opening and
there was a tall version that looked much like an Edelbrock Scorpion.
