Intake options with Vic Jr???

My motor is going to have a VIC Jr. Intake on it as well as a Intakeelbows.com elbow. The car is going to be speed density tuned, so i dont nee the MAF. I was Planning on using a 4" elbow off the 90mm TB, to a 4" tube that ran down to the nose of the car to use a Y fitting and 2 Cone Filters... Anyone else have a custom intake set up i could see some pics of?

hell i might just bolt a cone filter to the TB and call it good...

I have that setup right now awaiting my turbo install. Please excuse how ugly the engine bay looks right now as it is still under construction for the turbo. Here's a few pics of it with just a conical filter and then a few after i put on some of my charge piping.

Bird-of-Prey, have you ran that intake on an N/A set-up? If so, how would you compare it to an LS6 style? Pros/cons?

Also, where did you get that elbow piece?

I got the elbow from Aaron at intakeelbows.com. Very nice piece. Some of the best welds I've seen in a long time. I run it right now on a N/A setup. Turbo is not on yet. I've never had an LS6, only a LS1 and a BBK. The BBK with the 80mm TB was a big improvement over the stock setup even with a ported TB. With the BBK I could smoke the tires by just rolling the throttle to the floor in 1st. Can't do it with this setup although I'm having big problems with the FAST 90 TB. They do suck as people say. I can either have a decent idle but only 3/4 throttle or 100% throttle but a 2000 rpm+ idle plus it sticks like crazy. I've tried return springs, JB welding the TB shaft to the throttle cam, Nothing works. So I can't make a direct comparison. I can say the mid range and top end are fantastic and this is at 3/4 throttle. Daily driving you can't tell a difference. I still walked an 03 GT the other day with no problem.
