hey guys, just wondering what everyones take is on switching up to a Victor Jr intake manifold is. right now i got a performer rpm on mine, but as i've always thought i wanted to go with an xcelerator. this guy at a speed shop recommended with my setup to possibly go to a Victor Jr since i'll be running at the strip almost every week and it would net me the biggest gains for upper end.

anyway - i still think the xcelerator from weiand would be fine, but i'd like to know what everyone else has to say

(331 stroker, xe276hr cam, 670 street avenger, 9.6:1 compression, 3.73 rear, built C4 w/ 2800 stall, performer rpm heads, hedman longtubes etc.)

thanks guys!

well look at the power range of the engine you have right now. The vic. power band is between 4000-8000rpm, if you are going to spen all of your time in this power range then yes that is a good intake, but if you are going to be shifting around 6000 and are only going to be in the power band for a mear 2000 rpm look for a different intake. also if you switch the intake i would think you would want to switch the heads too so that you have a matched combination

Stick with what you have. If you have room, try an open spacer for a bit more top end.

you don't have the current rpm potential in the cam right now to take advantage of the victor's upper rpm potential, stick with what you have

well realistically, what about the Xcelerator, it's powerband is where i'm at, and the car pulls even at 45mph cruising right at 2k so.. lol but right now i'm running a 4 hole on this rpm (thanks dad) we had a open spacer on it but it leaked so he threw it off and swapped the 4 hole on it.. doesn't seem to have the top but i can't tell with this new engine since it's just burning the tires off.

what about the parker funnel web intake as they say it outflows the vic jr on all runners at 300-325 cfm on all runners with a 3500-8000 range without sacrificing low and mid range too badly.




here is the description

Brand new. In my 20 + years of engine building this has to be the best design intake I have seen yet. As is it is designed for a carburetor but has large bosses that can be drilled for fuel injectors. Many modern manifolds have bosses but they are meant for N.O.S. systems and not large enough for injectors. This manifold can be used with either Nos, fuel injectors or a Carburetor. The victor small block intake flows maybe 250 CFM @ 28" This one flows 300 CFM @28" also has longer runners and a clover shaped plenum for more tourqe. If you have after market heads or a stroker motor you need more flow that 250 cfm this is the intake for you. The polish is much better than most nice and smooth and level. Thanks for looking

I had a friend who swapped an rpm to a parker funnel on his 347 and it still ran the exact same et on his 347

haha i'd never put on a parker. ever. my friend had one on his race motor and it broke on 2 of the runners. maybe it was just his but i dont turn the rpms for that either..

i *might* just get the xcelerator to try it*

Those chinese knockoff parkers are a pile of trash, the vic jr is a better intake, then we have the super vic, but this doesnt have enough converter or cam to make a vic work, let alone those junk parkers. now the original parkers are another story, justy not for this guy
