Default fast 90 vs. victor jr
I have been looking to buy a 408 the one I have found puts about 550 to the ground and the guy has a ported FAST 90 on it that he is keeping and he said it leveled off around 6k the cam is .610/.617 244'in / 248'ex with ETP 225 heads. I was thinking this may be due to the intake and all I have is a stock out of box FAST 90 would I be any better off going with a victor jr.? I dont really drive the car much but I do like to every now and then

If I had a choice of either I'd go with a hand ported FAST. Although even a stock FAST should be able to keep up there with the likes of a 408.

I agree. With that motor and that much nitrous mid 9's should be no problem with some traction. Heck a shot half that size may get you there.

I agree.

A ported vic jr out flows a ported Fast 90 by alot. Stab in a 252/260 on 112 while your at it and the thing will really wake up.
