416" on the dyno
I know Don uses a Victor and he seems to do OK with it but after destroying mine trying to port match it to the heads it became obvious to me that you “need” the Super Victor. The SV has more material on top and the angle of the runners matches up much better. Put them both on and you will see for yourself.
That was another thing Rod confirmed to me directly. He even goes “oh yeah, I thought you knew you needed a Super Victor”! I was like uhhhh no, but thanks for telling me after the fact Bud!
BTW, the newer Super Victor has the port injection bosses cast in and though I didn’t have one to mock up I would bet that those will need to be ground down a bunch if you actually want to install valve covers. My SV is the older one without those and it still required a bunch of grinding. That’s both on the intake side and the valve cover rail. Creating clearance for valve covers is typical with any 'high rise' intake though.
Note the boss at the base of the runner is ground away and also how much you have to take off the valve cover lips to make them fit. Some points required grinding beyond the lip into the rail surface. You can use valve cover spacers for this issue but I chose not to.
Sometimes you gotta do stupid crap like this since no one including Mopar Performance has cared about making life easy for small block Mopar guys since forever.
