Holley Strip Dominator vs. Edelbrock Victor 340

Rob, I ALWAYS over think stuff. It's what I do.

We're getting pretty far off the original topic here though. I was not interested in this turning into a carb. vs. EFI thread. The fact is, I have a Sniper EFI setup and am not going to use a carb.

So back to the intake. Before I started the thread, I had sort of convinced myself that a "better" intake could help the combo. How much is what remains a mystery. As it sits, the motor makes pretty good torque. The car is fairly light. I have not weighed it in a while but I believe it's now under 3,000 without me. I weigh around 185 so let's say 3,200 "race ready".

With 500 lb ft of torque on tap, I don't think I'll have any problem getting out of the hole but down track is where I need the horsepower. If my converter is 4,000 and the motor only makes power up to 6,200 or so, that's kind of a small window for the engine to make up the ground.

I want to get this car somewhere in the 10s and MPH around 122-125. I don't know if I'm getting there with what I have right now. Would 525 hp at the crank do it? Tough to say. The larger exhaust will help, I'm thinking it could net me 10-15 hp at peak rpm.

Would the "right" intake get me over the edge? Also tough to say and why I'm engaging the experts here.
