Missed on this combo?

It was pretty good HP but the torque was really really weak (for a 4" arm) which means the cylinders were not getting filled-period. The SuperVictor is a sensitive intake that likes the port flange to be LARGER than the head port especially on the floor--I leave a .075" step/mismatch-this helps torque. Take a look at what happens to the Big Chevy guys when they use the "wrong" intake. This is why I never get too worked up over port matching--it usually isn't worth the time on lower RPM , street/strip stuff. J.Rob
My brain seems to be on idle this morning. Are you saying the intake likes to be larger than the head or the head should be larger than the intake?

And are we saying this is only applicable to certain port sizes or is this the case with this intake no matter what the csa is at the head?
