Default Best Cathedral Port Intake setup discussion

I'm trying to figure out my best options for a new cathedral port Intake and TB setup.

I want to hear them all but kep in mind my direct port system sits on top of the intake like a spider so I'm somewhat limited to a FAST of some sort, but I want everyone's opinion or real world experience to speak up.

thanks!!

You must first define "Best" to be able to get an accurate response.

Are you concerned about anything below 4000rpm? Or what about how high you want to spin the motor?

It's like asking what the best cam is, there is no specific answer.

If you want to keep a stock style manifold, ie not a sheetmetal or carb setup, then obviously a well ported FAST 102 is going to be your best bet.

RPM range will be around 3500-7000(extreme)

I originally planned on the 102 set up but I didn't think they were made for the cathedral port heads.

Am I getting bad info on here or missing something?

They in fact do make two different 102 setups, one for cathedral port heads and another for the ls7. Not sure if the ls7 one works for ls3 or l92 heads, but that's not relavent here.

Well had a good discussion with a memeber through pm and now I'm strongly leaning towards Super Victor with top mount TB. Any info or best place to buy complete package? Have to get a new N2O system as well but will be selling my dp in the process.

^^thanks for the link^^

DPNI?? THIS has to be the sickest setup I've seen yet! Could prolly have them fab this up on a 102.

Mine was a custom piece almost identical to that which I'll be selling here soon since I've been convinced I need a Super Victor setup.

Any sponsors sell the SV as a whole swap kit? I'm in the market and pulling the trigger VERY soon!!
