Default Efi super victor overkill?

I have a stock cube bottom end. Forged internals , 243s ,ms4 cam , 150 shot .90mm plate kit. Is the super victor efi with elbow and 90mm tb an overkill? Running a th400 with a 4.10 gear. 4000 stall. Frequently sees 7000 to 7200 rpm. Thanks

did you get the low profile or the super low profile

the really low one is going to basically negate any gains you will get with the swap. 4150TB is the only way to go

the suoer low profile wont totally negate, but its definitely not going to gain you a lot.

the regular low profile elbow will do better.

the best are the ones that are a gradual 90* bend...you will have to lose wipers for that one

and for obvious reasons, the 4150 style TB straight off of the Super Victor do the best...and you will lose the wipers if you go that route.
carb style intakes also benefit from a spacer....anywhere from 1/2" to 3" depending on your combo.

I know this is a old thread but does anyone know how a super vic jr, 4150, elbow, and turbo would do? or would a 102 TB be better?
