Received my new intake today...
It's probably best (but unfortunately the most expensive) small block intake available.. It's the Super Victor CNC 2825. The 2825 is the CNC ported version of the regular Super Victor and is supposed to produce 17 HP more than the regular Super Victor.. I currently run a Victor Jr. and the total HP gain could be 30+ HP with this intake... However, I will not be able to run a air cleaner with this intake due to clearance issues.... The front air bleed will clear the hood probably by less than 1/8 inch...
I probably won't have time to install the intake before the Corvette Challenge this Saturday
..
Here are some pics:

Oliver,
when you say that the front air bleed will clear by 1/8" are you referring to the "bowl vent"? I currently have a Victor Jr., Mighty Memon and K&N X-treme filter. I have a 3" Cowl induction hood, but with a drop base and 4" element my hood won't close. For now I will run a 3" element but I'm getting ready to build a bigger small block and would like be able to tune with spacers if needed. If you could keep me/us informed of how much room you have with this intake I would appreciate it. Dont really want to spend another 650 bucks on a hood but can't compromise on performance either. Godd luck hope it gets you ALL that 30 HP.

I'm running right now a Victor Jr. with a 1/2 inch spacer. The bowl vent is a little less than 3/4 inch from the top of that vent right now. The Super Victor is just a little bit less than 1/2 inch higher than the Victor Jr. + 1/2 inch spacer. On a Victor Jr., the top of the intake is tilted forward by 3 degrees and the Super Victor is flat. That will reduce the clearance even more. Without the difference in angle, I'd have approx. 1/4 inch hood clearance.. Considering the different angle, I will probably have less than 1/8 inch of clearance.. No type of air filter setup would work.. so I'll run without air filter... I'll probably add some type of screen setup to prevent larger objects to get sucked into the carb...

Not sure if thats the right name either 
. I'm kind of in the same boat as you with the clearance. Something I was thinking of is to make a bolt on cover that attaches to the carb similar to how a turbo or super charger attaches. It would have to be wide and flat at the carb then transition to something round to maybe install a K&N cone type filter like used on later models. This could be mounted up front where it could get nothing but cool air. I just don't know the actual amount of room and if it would be too restrictive. I'm going to take a closer look at mine tomorrow, I kind of have something in mind. If it may look like it's feasible I'll e-mail you a pic or sketch, if nothing else it may give you and idea for something better.

OH yeah before someone suggests it. DO NOT CUT THE VENT!!!!!!! I discovered this the hardway once as I was cutting the choke horn off on a holley I had. It was slick looking and worked about the same as if I was squirting gas into the manifold with a windex bottle.

The Super Victor wouldn't be a good choice for a 302..
The Super Victor CNC is mostly for large displacement small blocks..
The 302 makes power through port velocity and not volume. My engine makes power through volume.. Huge heads, huge cam.. and now I'm adding a huge intake... The CR is high, so the entire combo should seriousely benefit from the new intake..

Great looking intake Olivier. You sure that doesn't belong on a BB Mopar As litlevil mentioned, you could consider a carb bonnet and then also direct fresh air to your carb.

Is that a CNC ported manifold? Sure looks like a die grinder job to me, I don't see any chew marks from the 3 axis mill and I only see a cleaned up plenum & dividers and gasket matched ports....where is the CNC in all this?
