..... I see.But that setup there would be like 4k or more.lol....I guess i would want to know if the super vic would have more power potential than a fast 102 combo.Cant find any kind of flow info,or any info for that matter...The mast intake for sure is the way to go if you got the dough,but we po boy racin here...lol Been lookin for a used beck or wilson,but there is not one to be had...

For the money, the super victor, with the ports done to match the heads would be a decent choice. If you have the means to match the ports up on a super vic, I would look at that. You can do one for less then 1/2 the cost of the mast intake, and you can call and get one shipped to you same day from a ton of places, the mast one, you will wait for it for a while, and like said it will be at least double the cost, if you have it cnc ported and hand finished it will be almost 4 times the cost, intake to intake.
Mast will make more power, but if you are spraying the thing you can always add a little more jet, and spend that $ on a better nitrous system, stronger bottom end parts, etc.

If you could get the truck fast 102 in there then that would be a good choice, but if not i would run the super victor for the cheap as jlws6 said plus its aluminum in case of a back fire. And there is the holley intakes if clearance is not a problem, i like the longer runners that they have.

The Super Victor Dose not Come close to the mast intake.... I have tested 3 intakes... I would not put a shitty edelbrock intake on my car if you payed me.... there are alot better choices...

To each his own. Not every intake works with every situation, and if it wasn't touched, vs being touched, vs being touched the wrong way, etc. Too many variables to just throw any of the intakes totally under the bus.
Hell I remember that 440 you are now in posession of running 8.23 with the GM intake on it, and that intake was untouched..... so to say any of them are junk or shitty isn't really fair.
If the OP is building a max effort I would spend the money on a sheet metal... that will make the most power. if you can afford it, do a dual top mount TB setup.. it's worth another 20 over a single. Nozzle placement, or available nozzle placement is better with the sheet metal as well. You can fit 3 foggers in the runners easily on most sheet metal and a 4th stage inside if you so desire, or some combo of the above depending on what you want to do.

That would mean you are talking from PERSONAL EXPERIENCE.
Please share with us what YOU have used an Edelbrock manifold on and what manifolds it was compared to and why it was better then the others.
Since this thread is about a Nitrous engine, only share your testing with a Nitrous combo.
