Victor Jr Intakes
Curious if Victor Jr Intake Manifolds are comparable to HP500 Intakes. They look similar, but I'm not sure if they work well. I currently have 454 Mag intakes with spacers and I would like to swap out for a single plane and eliminate the spacer. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...f981a657a5.jpg
Thank you. |
yes they are fairly close, as is the holley strip dominator

I think it would be a big step backwards as far as torque I dynoed a 502 with Edelbrock heads and a fairly small cam this spring and the torque difference between a junior and a standard performer was about 40 Less foot pounds and compared to Edelbrock RPM air gap performer was 60 less foot pounds it gained nothing until you got way past the powerband and it was a couple horsepower for what it's worth

Also the Victor Jr needs a TON of porting to make work well. I may be wrong, but I believe it was made for the peanut port heads. At least the oval unit I had had about a 1/4” of material that needed to be hogged out of it. |

Same thing basically. Anything under 500 + - CI and under 550 hp and spinning under 5,600 I would stay dual plane. Personal opinion and experience. |

Thanks very much guys. I'll look into the air gap manifolds.

They still look pretty cool and not like some truck engine. https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...9a6464feb.jpeg |
