I have used the 'Torker' manifold in the past and can assure you it is misnamed. Less power and torque below 4000rpm on the dyno.

I spoke with Edelbrock a while back re the performer 455. They feel the torque and power will be improved even in the off idle to 4500 range.
But that extra 10-15 ft/lbs probably isnt worth the mods to the engine cover to clear.

Re your stock intake: was there a manifold leak in the first place?
If the manifold surface is warped it would have a hard time sealing with a stock gasket
On the other hand, milling it too much may not fit unless the heads are milled also or you double the gasket.
