Lip Ripper - Ha…that can not be debated!

Not a Torker or Vic Jr.

My 347 with a Victor JR. ran 10.60s-10.70s all day long,anywhere!! My Torquer on a 289 picked up 3/10ths over my F4B before tuning!! ROY.

My two cents - I am a HUGE fan of small runner/ plenum single-plane intakes on stock to fairly warm small displacement engines (ergo 289/ 302's!). I've always had better results vs. a dual plane! My all-time favorite is the Weiand X-Celerator. We didn't have a lot of dough when I was a kid but I usually managed to roust up a used X-Celerator for whatever we were working on. ALWAYS ran better than the dual-plane intakes. The "no low-end" is BS also! What few old dyno test comparisons still around from back when prove it out!

I see folks putting big runner dual-planes like the Stealth and RPM, etc. on stock/ mild 302's and it kills throttle response! I tried a Stealth on a 9:1 302 with a small cam...lasted less than a month. Like putting 205 heads on...too much is too much! 289/ 302's are small motors!

On a 351 or larger, probably a bit different. I think the best place for 180* dual-plane intakes is on street cars with big 'ole cams. Based on how they work, I think it helps tame them down a bit! That said, I think all the ranges are covered by one single-plane or another! In order: X-Celerator, Offy Port-O-Sonic, Vic Jr., Victor/ Parker FunnelWeb!

I liked the Torker Roy not the torker 2......Al

I was running the Weind X celerator and ordered the new Victor Jr. before it ever hit the Summit warehouse. I had the first one around my neck of the woods. It made zero difference in my ET. It was in effect, a waste of money. I had a good intake and didn't know it.

I have a vic JR on my 347 and it runs great (for 150 miles until we developed a noise in the motor but that's another story), it has no low end bog and pulls like a freight train!!! I'm super happy with the vic JR

Yeah the motor has to come back out, I think it's a rod bearing. I was at the machine shop when we heard it and cut the filter open to find metal that I'm sure is bearing material. Who said building car was easy right
