Thanks for the replies.
Jeff Frigo-I am not worried about the stinking moderators, I'll get the Club Cranky and Gashole Gangs after them.
SFFiredog, ERA 535, and the rest of you gearheads, I have a new Victor FE intake that I am preparing to install on my engine and I noticed that Shelby has a new single plane intake (looks very nice) on their website, so I call Mike LeFevers (nice guy) and he informs me the Shelby manifold does not exist except in his dreams. I have known Mike for several years and knew that his manifold would not become a realty , if Edelbrock would produce their Victor FE in sufficient quanties to meet the demand. I then chase down a Victor FE intake (they purportedly only made 50)
and have it shipped to my good friend, Rich Pickles to have it ported. Tomorrow I am going to machine 1/2 inch off the carburetor mounting pad so I can attempt to run an air cleaner on the street. I am not concerned about the low end, but I do wonder about about the effect of lowering the plenum 1/2 inch. I have tried about every FE manifold except for webers. The manifold I am presently using (extensively reworked BT 4500 High Rise MR with the center divide cut way back) is the best manifold I have used to date for all around use. I like the potential of the Victor and the plenum and ports look very good.
I am running a custom ground roller Comp cam with 728 I and 726 E lift. Duration at .050 is 264 I and 274 E, with a 108 lobe separation. I set the cam in with a 4 degree advance, so I have lots of low end. I will be happy to share how the Victor works with all except Turk, as I would not want to confuse him even more.
