Intake choice question
Intake choice question Trying to decide on what intake to run. I have a 6 liter that is 10.5:1. ASA cam and nascar takeoff 243’s. Piecing together a piece for playing around on the streets. I’m going to have a stinger plate on it too. Just don’t know wether to go victor or super victor. Whatcha think

There was a intake shoot out a few months ago in Hot Rod magazine that showed the Holley beat the Vic jr in average horsepower and torque. I was looking at picking up one the Edelbrock intake also. And I HATE the fact that Holley has " Made in China" right on the bottom of the intake. But power is power. Beside Holley has a sale that started today and ends in December giving like 20% off on most of the Holley brands. That makes the Holley mid-rise single plane 4150 intake about 100$ less than the Vic jr.
But if you do go with the Vic Jr. , I have a polished stainless set of ARP bolts made especially for the Vic Jr intake. And won't be using them. I'll let them go for half price Plus a few bucks for shipping if you are interested.
Good power hunting. Tim

Air door + 1250 cfm + nos Hi DB, yes use a Single Plane as it matches your LS firing order, the Dual Plane does NOT>bad choice< if done.
I have a 1250 CFM (4150 base) Air Door WITH NOS Bosses (no plate Needed)
All you need is to buy/install the tubes.
This is fitted with the TPS, included for $400.00 USD. (USPS Free Shipping USA)

Yes, Stinger not going to work in that combo, but there are other options also.

You can ise either intake on a cathedral port setup like that successfully. I would say if you have plans to go bigger or more aggressive in the future get the super Victor if not then get the Victor jr.

Torque moves a car, you lose low end with a single....what stall/trans/rear gear/tire size ?
Under 5K I don't think you'll like the single, may feel sluggish ?
Smaller cam with heads that "may be" too big and help kill low end also.
Maybe I read into the "street" part too much and really need full combo ?

I am also trying to decide on an intake... LS1, 241 heads, 228R cam, 2800 stall. Feel like the Edelbrock dual plane is best for my taste (low end torque) but open to suggestions. Does Holley make a dual for the LS1?

Shoo. I run a TKO with a 2.87 first gear, 3.54 rear and 25" tall tire and it works pretty well in my 2500# car. 5th in a GM spec TKO is 0.64, puts my RPM somewhere in the 2200 range at 70 mph. Sometimes wish I had a 0.5 6th gear like a t56 for more economical cruising. 4-5 is a fairly big jump on this TKO so the go fast gears are the 1->4. 5th gear is go-to-prison type speeds on the street. I originally had a 3.9 rear but switched to the 3.54. Wanted to get the cruise RPM down and had more low end torque than the tires could handle so made sense to gear it up a bit. Kept the GM single plane the crate motor came with for the same reason. Car still has so much torque I don't need to go over 2000 RPM when cruising the neighborhood.
Launching a heavier car with more rear tire begs for a lower first gear and maybe more low RPM torque. But have a light car with smallish tires set up for road racing not drag racing means the power band can be moved up in RPM for more overall power.
