I would just stick with the FAST intakes, you never can go wrong with them and proven results.

I think if your running the vic jr. or anything like that it is more for high RPM's and bigger cams? Im not too sure, maybe somebody can jump in and help us out.

But if its your STREET car, i would say FAST

for the cool factor go with the vic junior. If you are a high roller just get a custom fabbed sheet metal intake.

there is alot more to running a carb style intake than just wanting it to be "different".

and for a daily driven street car, i don't think you'll get the performance you want out of it.


have the FAST sanded down and painted to be stealthy. you can make it look damn close to an ls6 intake. vengence does it.

go with what makes your combo work the best. The FAST 90 is the way to go.

x2. There is no point to go with a Vic Jr on a 346. Only reason would be if you were going HUGE Head, MONSTER Cam (250), and solid roller spinning to 7,500-8,000.

The longer runners of the fast will benefit you more and help build more midrange then the vic.

I believe the Edel won't fit without cutting the cowl...

I would just stick with the Fast. They are proven performers.

Do you already have a cam? A cam that is designed for an LSx style intake, will be far from optimal on a carb style intake. If you don't have one I would hold off til you decided which way your gonna go.
