Just bought a huron v3 twin kit for my 408. I was wondering if anyone has used one of these intakes and what you had to do to make the kit work for these intakes? Thanks

I'm afraid you're going to run into the issue of since those intakes sit higher you will have to extend the cold pipe that runs to the TB. Which means you will likely run into hood clearance issues. On a dedicated race car cut that **** out. On a street car it could cause some big issues. Might be able to get a massive cowl hood to make it fit.

I figured that I would have to extend the pipe which isn't a big deal. I just wasn't sure if the high/mid ran or vic with an elbow pushes further towards the front of the car. I'm not worried about clearance. I have a ws9 outlaw hood and I don't drive it on the street too much at all

Has no one used a different intake besides a ls/fast set up on a huron kit?!

No reason to. Just spending the money elsewhere instead of having something shiny up top.

If you able to, why wouldn't you want to squeeze a little more power out of the car. And yes those shiny things do look good up top

I have the edelbrock proflo xt on my Huron TT kit. I have the 5" sloped VFN hood though. I had to cut the cowl and lost my wipers. It's not a "street car" though.

There's a 7 second car in this forum running stock LS3. By the time we've shored up everything else to run good number and circled back to manifold it usually isn't worth it. I run a ported LS3 and make 1k plus and can run mid 8s so if you're planning on more than that then spend the money I guess. For the Huron guys there's usually better places to drop that kind of coin is all.

I have the ws9 outlaw hood, no wipers, and cut cowl. I have a super Vic already. That's why I was asking if and what I have to modify on the cold side to get it to work. Figured since I have it already why downgrade. And I was asking about the high ram Bc I might be able to get one for cheap.

I understand there's 7 second cars with much less. I just have a super Vic so why not use it. Only asking what needs to be modified

I am - or at least will shortly - be running a High Ram with my Huron Speed C5 TT Kit.

Building a Boosted 370 myself with the High Ram. Don't use mid Ram, will lose power. I've done a TON of research on Inatkes. I went from GEN1 SBC world, to the LS world. So I must verse myself in this stuff now. But read this, it explains it all. If you wanna go stock style, go LSX-R. If you have the room Holley HR.

Cold side tube is made to run to the stock TB location. If moving the TB location via different intake manifold you will simply have to modify the upper charge pipe to run to this new location. You may be able to make it happen with some form of coupler, put the proper way to do it would be cut and weld..... or run an intake that ends in the OEM location

People who poo-poo on the Mid-Rise have never actually run one. It was the only aftermaket intake that fit under the cowl of our TBSS without cutting or jacking up the cowl. Truck went 11.96 @ 116 with it at 5200lbs. It works fine. Is it the best? No. Will it blow apart like a FAST? No.

Truth is an OEM intake is plenty in a forced induction application... they just lack the look cool factor of an aftermarket intake.
