Default Question about intake with build list below

408 with custom hotside and bullseye comp r 91mm turbo
Th400 with t brake
S60 rear end
Dual 340 pumps
Full umi suspension

Going to talk to tick about cam choice but I want to decide on my intake first

I was planning on going with a ls6 but now I'm debating on a Vic jr set up. I know ls6s have gone the distance but for the price I figure maybe the Vic jr might be better. I know this question has been beat to death but based on my set up, what would you chose and why? Thanks in advance

If you have the room for a tall elbow, go with the single plane.

If you can't fit a tall elbow under the hood or cowl or don't want to modify to do so, stick with the LS6.

I like the Super Victor in this application, but only if used with a tall 7" or so elbow. You need the tall elbow to help straighten out the incoming charge so that equal distribution of the air/fuel mixture ends up at each cylinder.

The added height of the elbow helps to add some plenum volume too which is good for some extra HP.

I was wondering that about the elbows but I figured since its a forced induction set up, the force or air from the turbo wouldn't make a difference. And btw I have to fill out a sheet tonight for you guys for a cam. I keep forgetting to do so. But I will!! Haha
