IMHO the Vic. Jr. is the best intake, the reason they have a bad rep. is they are MADE to be ported. They have extra material around the chambers to allow you to port it to the head, same with the intake opening on the top, extra material for porting. Not to mention that just about everyone over on LS1tech run VERY restrictive intake elbows on them. With our trucks we can run a nice arched one that will flow GREAT. There have been people see 90 horse gains from just switching the intake elbow (of course this is in a boosted application).

Everything that I have read on them is once they are ported they are beasts. I am in the process of porting mine now Jeff if you want to come check it out.

Im not exactly an expert by any means what so ever...but from what Ive seen...keep in mind thats not very much...some of the trucks on here making the most power and torque to the wheels are running either a Vic Jr. or a Super Vic. Im not one to proclaim the greatness of this intake...especially from self experience...but I usually look at whats making the most power on a similar setup...and from what I have seen its been the Edelbrock kicking ass. Yeah some people are making huge power on the FAST and some on a stock truck intake...not trying to take anything away from anyone.

I dunno but this is just like the "what kind of intake should i get: K&N, Voltant, AirRaid, or AEM?" question...its all about what YOU like...

This is just my and no one has to listen to a damn thing I say.

I dont know about anyone else, but i'm finding it hard to believe a 90HP gain with no other changes just by changing the intake elbow.... especially on a boosted application.

got any pics of these 'horrible' elbows by chance? I'm not saying your a liar but that would have to be one hella big restriction.

I'm with Quick on this one, the vic jr's are meant to rev out. IMO best intake out there is the Fast. I dont plan on turning 7000+ rpms and thats where the Vic Jr intake is going to shine over the others

Here ya go.
408 w/ vic jr. dyno #'s after T/B change! - LS1TECH

[George C]

waht ppl dont realize is the gains ppl are seeing with that intake is from using solid rollercams that spin some RPMs, high compression. not mention the cams they are using are spec'd for this intake. 90% of cams on market are spec'd for the typical intake.

unless your motor is setup for the vic or etc you will see worse results but got head run it and when you report back

I still have a hard time believing 90hp gain with no tuning just by swapping that elbow. I could see maybe 20-30 but even thats stretching it IMO..... that edelbrock elbow does look like chit though!
