4150 Super Victor 370 update
When grinding cams and dealing with cam timing, it does not matter how the nitrous is introduced, only the volume being introduced.
Many do it both ways with no real preference it seems. I have just as many spraying 300+ on carb style plates as I do spraying 300+ via a fogger system plumbed into the intake manifold runners.
Or are you asking more about specific cam timing events for a nitrous cam with a single plane?
Degree the camshaft in on a 106 ICL. It will perform well that way and shouldn't lose any torque over a Fast intake with the cam installed straight up or with the advance it currently has.
IMO it still needs more overlap, but it will still perform well. I like to see at least 22-24 degrees of overlap@.050" for a single plane 346-370 cube set-up.
The OP's camshaft has 25 degrees. A lot of people will tell you that overlap will kill bottom end torque. I prefer to disagree with them and show them combinations such as this one.

Do you have a forged bottom end? Or is it a stock short block? You need to verify P to V if you do advance it if you have a stock bottom end.
It should not lose any power down low if you degree it on a 106 ICL when the single plane goes on.
You would make more torque under the curve with the stock intake and IMO should be degreed to a 109 ICL with the LS6 intake.

Guess when the time comes for the vic jr ill rear it down and advance it! Like you said a 109 would probably be better for the ls6 for now I'd hate to do a 106 and leave power on the table while I save for a 4150.
You're positive it will clear? I like the VFN hoods too, but I wasn't sure it would clear a 4150 style TB with a Nitrous plate to boot. Do they make the 5" one in "bolt on"? I thought it was only available in "pin on".
It has to be scaled accordingly.
Gotcha.
With a 5" clearance won't be an issue as far as whether the 5" is available as bolt in I'm not sure, I know the 4" can be both though...

From what I see hood wise, the main thing to me is getting a cowl that will go almost to the windshield. I've never been a "big" hood guy anyway so I went with the c-5 style 3" from vfn. I should know in a week or two just how much clearance I have. Check the link out. http://www.vfnfiberglass.com/9301firebird.htm 
I've got another question for you OP, or anyone else for that matter who may know. What HP/TQ difference do you think there would be if you went with a Vic Jr over the Super Victor? Did you at any point consider the Vic Jr, and if so, what made you utlimately decide on the Super Vic?

Plenum volume is greater on the Super Victor.
Trust me when I say, do not buy a Victor Junior. Buy a Super Victor like the OP did, it's worth a lot of power over the Victor Junior.
I don't think the results of the under the curve torque would of been near what they would have been had the OP used a Victor Junior.
