Have any pics of the setup before and after?

What was the intake setup before? LS6 and Ported TB I'm assuming?

What intake was the increase of hp over? LS1/LS6/FAST? Just curious because I've seen HP loss from the VIC efi, over a FAST90 before....

the victor jrs to me are only worth a **** when fully ported, the new super victor on the other hand might be a different story. but putting a victor jr on on stock heads i wouldnt expect alot of gain, but port the crap out of that victor, and put a nice set of heads on it, i would think this car would make a good amount of power

Do you have a before and after graph to show where in the powerband the gains were made over an LS6 setup?

Travie, i had an ls6 intake on it when it made 413/377...i was curious as to how a fast 90/90 combo would work on it, but the opportunity for the carb style came up, and i decided to do something a little different than the norm...how big of a loss did you see when going from a ported fast to the vic jr? what was the complete setup?

Ryne, the super vic is overkill for my displacement....i think ill be better off with porting the vic jr.. i wanted to do it before we installed it, but ran short of time....it will get ported while the car is down for a tranny rebuild....i just wanna see how fast i can get this cam only setup to go....

my car is a SS so i was able to use the factory hood....however, we did have to notch a small piece of the inside for it to clear the elbow...

1320, actually it has very mild manners on the street...i actually found it easier to drive after the intake/tb swap...throttle reponse is crisp and it accelerates effortlesly throughout the entire powerband...maybe im just used to driving these cars that i dont notice...ill let you take it for a spin once its up and running again...

james, yes i do have a comparison plot between the two...i dont have it right now but ill try to upload it tomorrow...it pretty much made power everywhere over the ls6....especially midrange and top end....power comes on very fast....hoping to break 450 with underdrive pulley and ported intake...
