I don't think you missed much. I have yet to see anyone report that they picked up with a super vic on a 6 liter. Heck, I have seen 2 or 3 lately that did not pick up with a 400".

I was hoping mine was special. I've got decent heads. everything I see is comparing with stock heads or ported stockers. I'm sure the jr is enough though. the price point is what got me interested.

That is a consideration for sure. It would be interesting to see.

A guy here said a super Vic bolted to 243s didn't flow as much as a LS6 bolted to the same heads on their flow bench. I thought that a as interesting.
