Default Vic jr vs FAST

I really dont care about under the curve or numbers. The car is mostly on the street but I want all out acceleration.
My set up
M6
346 ls1

3420 race weight
4.30 gears
59 cc Ported 5.3s with ls6 valves
E85
Trex 244/248 on a 110 LSA

So what do you guys think for my set up? Victor jr or FAST 102?

Not trying to rob your thread but does anyone have measurements for the Vic junior with an elbow? Vic jr is better priced, and Even with port work it comes close to a stock un-ported fast as far as price goes.

FAST = Proven results

Vic Jr = like different cams + different power band

I would say you would need a custom grind cam for a single plane. EPS (Geoff) has a cam for a single plane. I would call him and discuss your set up and goals and he will line you out if you wanting a single plan. Otherwise I would say FAST all the way.

What do you plan to rev the car to? A FAST would prob be best if you don't plan on revving past 6800RPM's. If you plan on going any higher the Victor Jr. would be better. You can't beat the price of a Victor Jr. compared to the FAST also.

Plan to rev to around 6.8-7k. Didn't know if the 4.30s would make up for the torque loss if I went to the victor Jr. The price is the reason for asking along with my setup.

I feel like a stock LS1 with 4.30s would be a friggin blast anyways haha.


Fast+Cam+gears+rear end and tires would be awesome.

Um, the 4.30's might help pick some up, You are right in that range where either intake would work well. When you get above the 6800 RPM's tho the FAST is not going to pick anything up, that is where the Victor Jr. will come into helping a lot. It is all in what money you have and if you do ever plan to go bigger, if you do then just get the Victor Jr. now.
