Default intake question for carb

i have decided i want to go with something bigger than a 78mm. I have read that the fast 90 has problems with getting the nitrous to the back cylinders. anyways, i want to go with a carb style while still keeping my EFI system and use an elbow. can someone point me in the right direction so that i could find the manifold, elbow, and TB. also, i read the victor jr is only good to 500 rwhp, is there anything that is better. if i am wrong, someone sell me a fast 90 than.

Really depends on what you want to do with the hood,
I don't think any carb-style plus elbow will lay down low
enough for an F-body and you may have to hack the
cowl lip.

I'm pretty pleased with my Professional Products 85mm
as far as fit and quality, you might think about their
even-bigger ones. The only concern I would have is
lack of any pop-off safety for a big nitrous backfire,
if you're going a wet shot. But maybe you could rig
something to the EGR option-plate (at least there is
one of those, on mine).

I'd check whether the nitrous-to-back-cylinders
concern is for direct-port or single-nozzle, etc. -
certainly a dry shot would not be any worse for
distribution, than plain air (only more of it, to see
any inherent imbalance).

The Vic is good to 600 n/a, and on the spray a whole hell of lot more than you or I can hook up. The Vic Jr and Nitrous Outlet Elbow will fit under the f-bod and the Vette. That's what i am running and a DP Dry using the HSW Interface. I choose the Vic to contain any back fires and subsequent car burn downs. Some pics of mine in a couple other threads.
