Victor Jr. I have decided to move up from a ls6 to a Victor Jr. intake on the T88 turbo 391 LS2 after doing some research. I think it would be beneficial. I've also read that some people have had some trouble. Where is the best place to get one? I would like an elbow that wouldn't require any hod modifying or milling.. I read that Tiago used Speed inc. fuel rails instead of the edelbrock ones. How much more beneficial would this be? I know that the Speed Inc. ones are a little larger.. How well would it work? ANy other input? THANKS

I just measured my Edelbrock fuel rails. They are indeed 1/2" inner diameter, not 3/8". The rails are threaded for -8 fittings, so I cannot imagine a flow restriction problem even with the largest injectors. The brackets that come with the kit work fine. You could spend a lot more for custom rails and brackets though if you wanted the "look".

Slowhawk,
That's a cool setup you have there. Will that fit under a C5 hood? I'm looking at a cowl hood with a 3'' rise to it, I'm sure that should clear the setup you have. I may go this route also so please keep me in the loop as to how it's work out for you.
Thanks,
Dave

The LS6 intake has worked nicely with turbo applications. I have a customer with twin 60's and the LS6 intake that makes wicked power in his buggy. My thinking is that it might even be superior to the Victor Jr. in a lower boost, under 800 horsepower situation. The longer runner length may work to the advantage of quick response. Again, cam selection and how the parts work with each other determines a lot of the outcome. After saying all of that, I bought the Victor Jr. Costs less and is so easy to adapt to different applications - looks good on there too.
