Victor Jr. Does anyone in here have experience running these on an LS1? I've got the mod's in my sig and FAST and I'm thinking of trying out the Victor Jr cause I'm focusing the car more for the strip. Will this make a better intake for drag then the FAST? Thanks.

did you do a search? there is a ton of threads about the carb style intakes and the pros/cons to them.
you'll lose some power down low, power band will be moved up, and peak power will increase.

Yep. Did a search and only saw 2 threads that had very, very vague info on it. I understand that only a couple people are using it, but I haven't seen much info on it or the benefits vs cons. I do understand the powerband is moved up higher. I see a lot of the drag racers using it, but is that just for the forced induction aspect?

I've seen a few people use carb style intakes without FI. They just stick an elbow on top of the intake and put an air filter on the end of that. I'm kind of curious too why somebody would choose to do that.

here are a few results I found

no, alot of nitrous guy's use it as well I plan on running one on my L92 headed 408 when the time comes, and the reason is there is no other intake really out there (the LSXR) that will flow enough for it.
hardest stuff is making it all fit.

nice! wonder why others haven't done that, at least I havn't seen it most run the elbows.
If I could retain the wipers and do that, that's awesome!

Haha. It was the $15 special at the local Autozone. People get into the mindset that if everyone isn't doing it, it must not work.
My second stage noids are the reason I cut as much away as I did. I got tired of cutting my hands up reaching back there all the time.

and I hear you on the "monkey see monkey do" mentality.

Ok, thanks a lot guys. Awesome info.
The reason I was asking was because I'm going to a strictly drag setup with the spray. I had a 2 stage plate kit and with the fast was having issues. Basically, on the 150 shot I only was picking up 70 to the wheel and running rich. Dropped the pill settings from 38 to a 21 and still rich. I'm going with a bigger cam with the spray and I figured a 2 stage carbed plate with the victor jr would be a better set up for me since I'm gonna spin it to over 7k rpm's and have more even air flow to the engine cylinders. And I plan to put a bigger shot on there and don't want to lean the #7 cylinder and blow the engine.

sounds like something else is the problem w/ the 150 hit though.

I have some similar intentions as yourself except instead of running a Victor Jr I am looking to go with a Super Victor to replace my Fast 90 setup.

Yeah, it's taller. I'm not wanting to cut the cowl yet so I'm sticking with the victor jr. Super victor isn't very practical with the 4th gen fbody cars. Flows like crazy though.
