You want to match it to cam and gearing. Probably not a good match to a near stock cam but if you go big with ported head then might be the right choice. Keep in mind a super vic is taller so check hood clearance. You can probably get the same result with a carb spacer on a vic jr. That route gives you a few more tuning options.
Daily driver or not is somewhat irrelevant, just match it to whatever cam you have the ***** to run.

Zone, the moderator of this section, tested it on his stock displacement 6.0. If memory serves me, he slowed down over a Victor Jr.. However, a few guys on a well known hard core racing site say they have gained notable performance on serious race engines.

I am reluctant to summarize or make general statements like that in this case because I have no personal experience with the Super Victor. I would love to try it on my car just for an experiment.
I can give you this generalization that I know to be true. As the cross sectional area of the intake runners increases, it will generally slow down port velocity. So, if your engine is not large enough, and/or run at a high enough RPM to benefit from the increased flow, it could actually lose power with a "larger" intake. Where that line is, I do not know.

I mean a mild dd engine isnt what that intake will shine with. You can dd practically any engine if you have the patience and ability to do so. This intake isnt suited for a near stock engine, cam and power wise. It would work, just wouldnt shine like a smaller intake... if you have a rev friendly engine that sucks alot of air then this would suit your needs better than say a stock cam 4.8

The most notable thing about the Super Victor is that the runners are larger in cross sectional area and slightly longer (which makes the intake a little over an inch taller).

If you have the room for it and it is for max power, I say use it.

Mine is mostly strip. I could care less of manners on street. I just wonder if i could pick up shifting at 69-7k with a super? I am going to 4.30 gears, and gonna port my exhaust out a little I think. I have been reading up on head work, and looks like I might need to leave the intake side alone till i get more cubes.

well going to give my 2 cents,,,, what most want to see is more power,, I think it will,,, but what most people is not seeing, if your not going to have enough converter to leave at a higher rpm to get in the range of the intake the power is its not going to help,, but slow u down. I can say this, when my motor was stock with dual plane or the vic jr I had better 60 ft's than I do now with heads and cam,, that's hard to believe but im leaving at same rpm as before,, the heads and cam(well cam is more up in rpm's where the power is now... people lose sight just trying to make more power but not changing other things to go along with the change.... my 2 cents

stang I think before you said u leave about 2600 I think,,, how much flash u have on converter? if its a 5500 id say its about 3800 or so,,, it could help but its close to that 1000 flash u need for it to work,,,
