Default Victor Jr or Super Victor in a F-body? Post up some pics installed

Like the title says.. I wanna see pics of both EFI and carburated setups with the Victor Jr or Super Victor intake. This style intake from what I have read is becoming more and more popular as an alternative to a FAST which IMO is severely overpriced!

I am seriously considering doing this, but won't really be able to make a decision until I see the setup.. I have heard that if you stay EFI the best way to go is with a 4150 throttle body rather than a elbow but I just don't know how well it will fit under my stock WS6 Hood. I am not opposed to cutting, as long as when it's all said and done it still looks the same on the outside.

This is 1Hawk's car but he had a good picture under the hood for ya to see.

Two things to get full advantage of victor jr.
1. use the 4150 TB
2. use a cam suited for the short runner of the victor jr with a tight lsa (~110)

Super Victor with a 105mm TB setup.Doubt I'll lose anything against a 4150 TB going by the flow of this thing.

The elbow/TB is 2.5" above the fenders.

I like the elbow.. Wonder if you could route that through this 104mm lid or this Volant CAI?

Forget the elbow. It has been proven in other posts that going from the elbow and 90mm TB to a 4150 4BBL is worth 50-60 rwhp.
Here is the thread with my pics:

Looks like a Victor Junior. That setup wouldn't clear my hood with the Super Victor.

Yep it is a Jr. Would the Super not clear a WS6 hood?? I thought it was tall enough to make it work.....
I just need to put a decent size shaker scoop on there and run Cary's intake, and a 4500 TB .

I'm not arguing, but what makes the 4150 with a carb hat better than a throttle body with an elbow.. either way you still are making a 90* turn.. I assume the 4150 TB straightens out the airflow just before it enters the intake??

Figure 1" to 1.5" higher which should clear but you have to pretty much cut out the whole hood support.I would figure the hat would be a big restriction too.
I wish the loss of 50-60hp was true.My 427 with a 242 Cam would be over 600rwhp with a 4150 TB.

The hp gain was listed in the dyno section a few months ago. I don't know how much the carb hat restricts flow, it is pretty big on the inside with a 4" opening, but I do know that the elbows cram the airflow to the back of the plenum. Might not be a big difference if you don't have the cam for a single plane....

Yes, just the brake booster line. I don't see how changing intake manifolds would mess with the ABS.
