Carb Style intake guys??
I'm surprised you didn't look into the speedtech diffuser plate brad, that thing works really good, Bruce has put a few of them on cars he's worked on and said the results were very good.
Nothing wrong with NX stuff either, just surprised you didn't look into one of those.
Ya get that TB cable setup all set, when you gonna hit the track again, I'm intrested to see what you pick up going from the fast to the edlebrock, might give me some insight as to wether it would be a better route to go then porting the fast over the winter.

i have a gret set up with NX, im running there newer style plate with the side distribution. we flowed it and it was working great.
it fogged very even, and right into the ports.
good stuff, and the price was right.
as for the track, i wont be going for a few weeks, i have **** to do every friggin weekend in august, and i hate the friggin heat, so september will probably be my next time out.

the victor jr is the only way to go... the F.A.S.T is good but falls off short... where the F.A.S.T stops making power, the victor jr has already surpassed the F.A.S.T in power, and is still making power all the way up to 7500rpm's
For a 400+ci motor the carb intake or a custom sheetmetal is the only way to go... for N/A / Nitrous use....
Try both at the track and you will be a beliver....

makes me wonder if I'd be better off going the edlebrock route myself.. I'm seriously thinking about it because of alot of differnt reasons... next year I wanted to put a good nitrous system on insteand of the little plate kit I have now, my goal is to be able to race in a 10.0 index class, but if it's possible to get enough pwr on motor to get the car there without spraying it at all, I would rather do that. I know getting the rest of the weight of the car would do wonders, but that's a whole differnet story.

what are you goingto for gears? reason I ask, is that I tried chef's little 26 inch tires, and I ran my 28 inch radials on the same day, mph was within a 1/4 mph from the slowest to the fastest run, I didn't see any major change. But, that could be teh bias ply sucking a little mph away from what the radial will do, I dunno. regardless, it didn't make a huge impact.
But I can see you picking up a good bit on motor going to a differnt gear because of the 1.7 first gear in the glide, it's not like you're gonna run out of gear at the big end with a solid roller. What are planning on spinning it to, 8000?

1dirtyz, im not sure. im a winter guy, the heat keeps me in limbo.
id say i wont be out for atleast a month when the weather starts to cool off.
i havent even looked at my car in 2 weeks. the heat kills me, by the time i get out of work i just want to hang out and drink some beers. just so frigin hot.
jl, tires and gears are big differance, a car like mine that hooks real good, with a 3:73 to a 4:30 swap with my set up, i wouldnt be surprised if i dont drop 2-4 tenths (depending on what the carb style intake does.
we'll see.

I'm not running pump gas anymore if that helps, 112/114 for me... I'd rather be safe with the compression then not (ls2/no knock sensors) I think I'm still too heavy to go that fast, at least for now.
Not to knock the NX stuff because I believe it is very nice, but the SpeedTech stuff is great too. I haven't used mine yet due to my current string of bad luck, but I have seen lots of SpeedTech stuff at the track and have talked to lots of people that run their stuff and everyone loves it. The best thing about their Diffuser plate is that it sprays from the center in a 360* pattern.. AND you can get it in a 2-stage plate setup so you don't have to worry about spray bars or any of that..
Yeah you can use the fitting on the back.. I'm using the 4150 Series Accel 1500 cfm throttle body on my GMPP intake. I just ran a small hose off the MAP to a barb fitting thats screwed into the t/b. Works fine. Mine uses a stock LS1 IAC and TPS.
