i think the GMPP intake is better then the victor. It does have shorter wider runners. I will have mine up and running in a couple weeks max. Finally.

Swapped out the FAST 90/90 to a Vic. Jr/shweetmetal elbow/NW90 on my 416" last weekend. Used the stock bracket bolted to the elbow and stock cable. Worked out well.

Hope to do some PCM tweaking this weekend and have some real world (dyno)comparo's. If it picks up a few and carries it out longer I'll be happy.... for a minute-

Still need to get it to the track Between work, work and work, there's no hours(or ***)left

I've talked to a handful of people and everyone has lost power down low and not really gained any up top compared to the Fast 90. Andy did some dyno testing and some cars lost 20-30rwtq and hp.

You should look into the Beck Sheet Metal Intake. It may be what you are looking for. It flows like a ****. It will outflow a fast and not loose to much down below. He builds the intakes to your needs.
