Default Vic Jr. vs Performer RPM???

Ok so I am sure someone in here knows the ins and outs of these things and can tell me the difference and what would benefit me. I'll list the setup and u tell me what I need or would benefit more from. Thanks

Forged 346
Fully ported 5.3 heads
244/248 .6xx/.6xx 113lsa

Should be getting a 6 speed

All of this is going in a mustang reason for going carb'd. Just save time/money etc. I found what I thought to be a great deal on a carb'd setup but just realized today it was the performer not the vic jr. Any input greatly appreciated.

I think I answered my own question doing some research... Now I can't find a price on the GMPP carb style intake. I am debating that or the victor jr. But cant' find a price on it.

VJ is good for about another 1-2k RPM(if you need to turn it that high) and also if you plan to spray it, the performer is only good for a 150 before you have puddling or separation problems in the intake since it's a dual-plane. The VJ will take as much spray as you can toss at it

Yeah I'm going to be doing a dual stage 200 shot... Does anyone know the price on the GMPP intake? And also which one seems to be a better intake. I am sort of leaning towards the vic jr just because I know it's tried and proven.

I seem to remember the only GMPP intake I saw was a dual-plane also. There might be another one out so correct me if I'm wrong. Scoggin-Dickey used to have that intake listed on their site.

Performer RPM and the GMPP intake are both dual planes. Looks like you need to be looking for a Vic jr. which is single plane and will pull a few 100 more rpm's up top.

Actually, the GMPP is also a single plane, but doesn't come drilled for injectors, and is about 1/2" shorter than the vic jr

What does the gmpp cost? cause I can't find it for sale anywhere. GMPP website doesn't give out prices.

Cam is going to want a much tighter lsa in a carb style manifold, like 105 lsa or so. You'll be giving up a good amount of power under the curve with that cam.

110 on the cam will work good on the bottle.
