Spoke with a local engine builder and he said that he gets over 30 HP more than with the Victor Jr... The only problem is that this intake is over $500
If the Victor Jr fits under my stock hood, maybe I can help recoop some of your money...

If I would've known how to do that

I can't sell it too cheap because I have the polished version of the Victor Jr. which costs about twice what a regular Victor Jr. costs... The new price was $380 or so

Edelbrock charges almost twice for the polished version of their intake...

It'll fit easily under the hood if you use a drop base air filter setup!

Think about it and give me a price.. If you want to dump it on Ebay, I understand. You know where I want to go with my car...

If I sell it, I would be asking $200 for it...

The same intake is $354 at Summit:

I just thought of something.. It might not be a good intake for you because the ports have been matched to the 1206 intake gasket which is way too big for your heads... It would work if you'd go with 215cc or 230cc heads which usually use the 1206 gasket..
