yeah thats what i was looking for.since i already have the 102mm tb i was planning to use it on a vic jr intake with elbow,but since i hear alot of people make more power with vic jr and 4150 tb im going that direction im still looking to see if theres actualy any dyno numbers to back this up.

Ive done a lot of testing with FAST and Edlebrock intakes on various engines. The results are fairly typical on any engine. FAST is much better for street/strip, the edelbrocks are better for drag race only because they loose 40-50ftlb below 5500rpm.
The edelbrocks wouldnt be a good choice here assuming this is a typical 67 camaro driven on the street most of the time. They are an even worse choice when coupled with the large runner l92 heads, it will be very mushy at low speed driving.
Your enjoyment of your vehicle depends on your combination. I would rethink your options, and i dont even know what cam your planning on running yet.

Send about $10,000 to texas speed or vengance. Theyll do it for you.

So...what about on a 383 LS1 that is going to be at 5800-6100 rpm in a boat?? Power below 5500 is adequate with a Super Vic carbed intake (meaning as long as it didn't drop going to the EFI, I wouldn't need more).

Everyone wants more torque, more power, more gas mileage, more overall efficiancy in any rpm range. If you never see more than 6100rpm I would run the FAST. Its simply a better combination, even the right cam for a boat would help.

The op did not go into detail of what the car was being used for. He did say he had plans of a 418 with ls3 heads. So depending on what the application is would determine the best intake set up. As previously posted if its a street car then the fast set ups are great. But I have used a single plane on a 402 Stroker with ls3 heads and it made enough torque that it just blew the tires off. So using a single plane might be better anyways with a Stroker. As far as the 4bbl or 1bbl tb debate. It really depends on the elbow you use as far as the power goes. 4bbl tbs seem to be easier to tune and get to idle well with bigger camshafts.

plus 1 on that. how much torque do u need with street tires. im running a very mild stock cube ls3 in my 72 camaro, small comp lsr269 cam w a vic jr. im running the fast ez efi. at half throttle, first gear in the 2004r tranny is useless and and when it goes to second, the car pitches into drifter stance. again, this happens way below peek torque at half throttle, shifting around 4000 rpm on a 275-40-17 with both wheels spinning (no one tire fire). throttle response is great, no mush. just my 2 pennies.

THe thing your missing, is WOT isnt the only thing that matters. Most of the time when your driving your not "smoking the tires".
Most of my fun is leaving the light quickly, but not being obnoxious to the rest of the community. I love how quick I can accelerate, at very low throttle, and never burn the tires.
