I'd think that's plenty LOL, a single 90mm would probably be fine.

Do you have motor plates??

Where is everyone getting these Vic Jr's? I have looked on sponsors sites, nothing. What kind of pricing? I havent went 90/90 yet, and will be waiting for more results from the Vic crowd first. Thanks.

I think that SDPC has them somewhere, search for intake manafolds on there for ls1's I'm sure it will come up, at least one of them, either the edlebrock, or the gm one.

No motor plate. I foresee cutting the cowl maybe .5 inch to accomodate the elbow but we'll see.

When you say a 1/2 inch, you mean a 1/2 inch notch where the rubber is that meets the hood, or somethign else? Only reason I ask is tha a ws-6 hood meets up with where that rubber is, and if the wlbow is hitting the rubber, it's most likly going to hit the hood as well.

I ordered mine from Summit on 1/19/2006 and it had an expected ship date of 2/15/2006. I just checked my order online and it now says 3/3/2006, so we will see.

I think that version without the rails and injector bungs was in stock.

John, are you going to be running an Accufab TB? If so do you have the part numbers for the TPS and IAC?

Thanks,

Your intake's imitating a 5 litre setup.. it needs a beating for that LOL.

got some new intake setup you're planning on using, or you just messing with us?

Are you talking about mine? The T/B is "turned" to accomodate the A/W piping -- the intercooler will be located in passenger side area - just a lot less pipe turns to make. The engine is still in fabrication stages. Attached is a picture from the shop's 67 Camaro with same set up

I'm going to run Aaron's elbow, and a Nick Williams 90mm TB.

I might have to notch the cowl, and maybe the hood. We'll see.

Is there any advantage to running the elbow opposed to having the TB bolted to the top of the intake? I was considering putting an Accufab, or other, on top, but not sure.

Will run N/A at first - see what it will do; turn on the nitrous; and than switch a set of twin 67's. Time and money, time and money, but what do you do? The entire engine, fuel, etc, is being set up for turbos. Total local fabrication of the A/W IC, etc. Should be interesting. The shop will have all turbo cars (67 Camaro, another 98 Camaro, mine, a civic, a 93 MR2 (my son's), and a moooostang). The race is to the 9's and than first into the 8's. Spring can't come soon enough.

Here's some pictures of the other Victor Jr set ups. The black car is Joey's 98 Camaro and the red one is of Chad's 67 Camaro.

Can't wait for the track to open - only 2 more months

Oh yea, I forgot the Eagle Talon. My son's little MR2 makes the least HP - only 500 rwh but runs mid- to low 10's

Any opinions on how the elbow/vic jr would work with wet nitrous nozzles either in the elbow or in front of the TB like now? Not talking about direct port here.
