probably the carry's when it comes out.

super victor is rumoured to come out some time soon as well.

but any step above the victor jr. at the moment would be a sheetmetal imho.

I called Edelbrock and they were saying that it is good to about 600 hp. I am looking at something that will work with boost and can handle 800-1000 rwhp. Any body out there pushing that much power and are using the Victor Jr.? I also didn't want to get a cowl hood. I wanted something that will fit under the stock hood and flows great

the victor jr. is good well past 600 hp.

your best bet would probably be the new fast then, since you want to keep a stock hood and not cut anything.

you should start applying for new mortgage now.

I just had an L92 head motor dynoed with a port matched Victor Jr that made 744@6800. It's a 14 to 1 race motor running a Pro Systems 4150 style carb. The Victor Jr is the most bang for the buck in an L92 aluminum single plane right now.

Dont forget that when they say 600HP thats N/A. I would have to think that the Victor JR would have no problem supporting 1200 plus HP with boost.

I see. As for the hood, are you against cutting the cowl to clear an elbow? As far as I know with an elbow and trimmed cowl you can run a stock hood.

You can also run a flat hood with a 4150 4 BBL throttle body and a carb hat.

A low profile hat would be close with a stock flat hood, but I think it will work fine. I have about 2" from the top of my TB to the brace on the bottom of my hood.

Mine is an Accufab 4150 with no spacer and a Spectre hat. Just does fit under the hood. I did have to trim the bracing at the back though. Just so long as it does not have a hole on the hood surface :nod:.

I agree 100%. If a carb style and a 4150tb is an option, jump on it, you will love it.

What ecu are you guys using with the carb manifold and 4150 style tb? Can this be used with the ecu that is in the car or do you have to go to a BS3 or ?

very interesting. I like the 4150tb idea much better. Do you have to change any wiring or fab anything special or do all the sensors bolt right up? Sorry for all the questions, but that setup looks sick.

The Accufab comes with a GM TPS sensor and a GM IAC sensor. It has 3 ports in the back of the base. The larger one in the middle is 1/8 NPT but I never figured out what the two smaller ones to each side are. I just epoxied them shut on mine.

What about cary's from perf-inductions?

you can either extend the tps and iac, or cut the loom back and you will have more than enough wire.

my fast is the exact same way as the accufab. late model tps and iac, and the same 3 ports in the back. I went with the fast because they claim 75cfm more 1275 vs. 1200. i know they are probably the exact same, but fast is local and I wanted it right then. haha

His killer ass-stompin manifold will never fit under a flat hood. I doubt it would fit with a 4150 and carb hat under a stock WS6 or SS hood. You might get away with a 4" cowl hood though.

I have the WS6 Ram air hood. Do you think it would still require trimming? I also don't like the big ass cowl right in your field of view. My buddy had one and he got rid of it because you cant see anything on the road. Also for everyone to know, I do plan to put boost on the TA...alot of boost, prolly 15-20psi. So the TB will still need to be able to function with the procharger.
