Custom fab intake manifolds? good/bad choice? Im getting ready to do a 383 motor and i was debating what to do about intake manifold. I know the FAST 90/90 has proven itself.I was also looking into the custom sheet metal intakes. Give me some suggestions.

Its a lot cheaper then a sheet metal intake too.

...i remember popular hotrodding did an article on a 1200hp ls1, they used the GMPP intake but they did some serious macining(adding bosses for injectors, porting, media blasting, etc.) does anyone know if you can port the victor jr.?

From what I've heard the victor jr has thinner walls then the GMPP intake. Both can be ported, but more can be taken from the GMPP runners. For a 383 I don't think it would really be an issue, especially if you factor in price. The GMPP is made for a carb, so needs to be drilled/welded for injectors and custom fuel rail. That manifold alone is close to $400.
The victor jr comes w/rails, no machining required-399.99 from summit racing.
(they are on back order until 3/15!!!!!!)

I can't wait to see some real numbers from that manifold. I believe it can top the
90/90 setup
I know I will get crap for saying that!
