Hi Pat,
I called my buddy and had him double-check his 60 foot times on his timeslip and compare them to the old combo. This would be a good indication of the low end torque differnece of the 2 intakes.
The 60 foot times were actually .05 to .08 better with the Victor. His car leaves the line at 3800 to 4000 rpm with no trans-brake (obviously an automatic) I have always been a proponent of a well designed single-plane intake. when carbuerated properly, low end torque has never been an problem, especially in a light car with a manual gearbox. Single-plane intakes like slightly larger carbs than dual-planes and the really like double pumpers over vacuum secondaries.
The engine I built for his car is realitively mild, It idles at 950 rpm
and has 12 inches of vaccum at idle. He does drive it on the street.
