I imagine a cam that was matched to the Torker manifold is probably made to live in the higher RPM range. But you might want to just check the vital signs on the engine anyway before you get too crazy with it. Meaning compression, vacuum and so forth. I made the mistake of not checking first, and put time and money into an engine that had a bad cylinder to begin with (I guess). Now I have to get another engine. That said, I'd be looking at the cam as the culprit next.
