How many guys here are still running a factory style intake? and how many are running a cast intake? what are the pros/cons of either?

I think it depends on what your goals are. Most guys that are either running Stock intakes or running something line the Vic JR. Unless it is a high $ setup then they might be running something bigger. But Hell Fireball is running an as cast Super vic with his car and is going low 8s right now.


PS I am still running my stock LS6 intake and the car just went 10.6@133mph in the heat over the weekend.

how much boost can the ls6's handle?

KP who makes it look easy to run low 9's I think was running a stock manifold also.

I think I'm the only person to have blown up an LS6 manifold under boost. I was only running 16ish psi, so I very seriously doubt that the manifold blew up due only to the boost since so many others have ran so much more than me thru factory composite manifolds...

I used the vic jr. to pick up room in the front and back of the engine. also heard enough about the #7 going lean.

Trust how many RPMs do you spin on the motor?

stock LT1 intake... what's considered low boost?

Peaks at 6300 shifts at 6500, the Vic Jr didn't add and power but it carries it quite a bit longer now.

i would also be worried about the number 7 cylinder going lean on stock manifolds

like dschmittie1 said, I'm running the super victor with a wilson 90mm elbow. shifting 8000-8500 rpm. 30psi boost

does the vic junior actually help with the #7 cylinder going lean ? i thought it was all about the block. i believe the ls1 did not have a coolant passage on the back of the block beside the #7 cylinder. and the ls6 block does.

The factory manifold has nothing to do with the lean #7 issue. I forgot who, but someone turned the manifold around completely facing backwards, and the rear cylinders were still leaner. Do a search in here if you wanna find out who..

I remember that thread, very informative. Still wondering if the LS6 coolant bypass mod contributed?

But I ran 13-15 psi w/D1 on a FAST 78, popped the burst panel once when the coils were backwards & it backfired, but other than that had no issues up to 6500.

I'm now running a Vic Jr with an elbows.com elbow (for the increased flow) at 14-16 psi on the F1 up to 7k.
