ive been looking at a buncs of threads here and it seems like the consesnus id that a stock TB ls6 intake is alittle low on potential compared to FAST and spiders... my combo is a 226/232 .609/.604 111+2LS ans TEA LS6 stage 2 heads.. the car is a 79 malibu so i dont have cowl or height issues like a 4-gen..

i have seen people gain big running vic. jr's and 4500 style TB's over elbows.. and TPIS has a dyno comparo where the vic is up over the LS6 in lower Tq and over the FAST 90 in higher RPM Hp...

other than having to run a SD tune... is installing vic-jr a good idea+??? or should i go for the tunnel ram style edelbrock intake.... or si there simoly no gains over an LS6 intake????

Think you need to get a cam grind to suit to max the potential of em

hmmm that might be true to get the best cam for that intake... but im wondering if swapping to that intake will be beneficial for my setup...

That intake is normally for spinning up high. What do you shift at? This a drag car? Non the less, having one in that car would make it just look cooler, even if the performance isn't there.

I just put one on mine this past weekend. You have to realize that this is pretty much a drag racers intake. This intake will outshine a fast 90 or 92 up top but lose a bit of torque down low during daily driving.

My shift points are at 7100 rpms so it fits perfect for me and i may have to move it up a tad after swaping to this intake. I personally don't care about the "lose of tq down low" because when i flash the converter off the line im never under 5700rpms going down the track. My cam will work very well with the Victor jr intake but i don't advise people to run it unless you have the cubic inch to handle and a tuner willing to spend alot of time tuning on it.
