Well, here's my .060 over 350 w/GM fastburn heads, Miniram and a mild cam. I was getting some spark knock retard in the 2500 rpm range and have since fixed that and have a much smoother curve. Torque peaks at about 3800, and is even over 300 rwtq at 2100 - that's usable power
Anyone who says you will loose noticeable low end torque obviously does not know what they are talking about.

as this has become somewhat civil intake debate...
To be quite honest I do like the mini for a couple of reasons, and I think the HSR offers some benifits.
I feel that an intake that has the throttle body mounted forward of the plenum can never provide as even a/f distribution. With batch fire, and SD, I always see a progression of slightly richer cylinders, going from front 1-7 (1 being the leanest, 7 more fuel, from reading the plugs, both sides has same effect). In my set-up the tune in CL is as good as it gets, pretty much 128/128 under 1600 and above 128 w/some int. movement under accel. and is stable through most of the seasons weather cond. (truel 14.73 w/LM).
Maybe it is better w/sequential fire, don't know. but that is why I like an intake designed w/the TB in the middle, like the victor. MO
Before someone gets all cranked up, this doesn't mean that they are not good intakes, they work fine

I can comment on both the LTR setup and the Miniram combo. I have run both combos.
The Miniram setup is killer so far. It does need a good convertor and higher gears to totally max it's potential. So far I have only done the convertor and not the gearing. Still running my 3.07 gears.
Easy to install and service also.
