1st off which edelbrock im, performer or victor x? regardless of which one it is, ur basic set up cant fill that chamber fast enough......

I believe the Victor X is a Type-R Manifold, same with the Throttle Body.
I wouldn't pay for it.

I'd keep it stock.

its not the same ive looked up on dyno charts the victor is much better at mid to high range

Don't believe dyno charts unless they are done by an independant person who did a dyno before installing the product and after. Companies dyno charts are total B.S. and are innacurate as hell. They do it to sell the product and appareantly... it works.

x2. Read the customer reviews and from their experience, you will know then if the buy is worth it or not.

NP... Ive fallen victim to ordering parts saying 6-10 HP increase and in fact it decreases HP... GRRR..

UNCLE_DADDY0911

well im reading that its nothing but a bonus for me to install it on my application the TB alone would be an increase , it has a feature for added injectors anyone know anything bout that stuff? besides the fact ill burn more gas lol $300 for a Type R intake and Tb anyone...??

UNCLE_DADDY0911

Just to let you all know I hooked up the victor X this morning and WOW what a big big difference it makes ...Id advise this move to everyone , i get low mid and high range with this set up .....any questions ask away..... $250 obo for a type R intake and TB

UNCLE_DADDY0911

new set up i got a 243 whp b20 now jus installed this week , bought from my best friend so i know its legit lol it has type r tb and im bored out , i have a chance to buy a magnus for cheap whats better magnus or victor x IM ?

i'm definately going to have to call shenanigans on your WHP unless there are VALID dyno sheets to prove your "whp". If you just bought a 243whp b20 you would ALREADY have a manifold that flows good enough to produce that power. You wouldn't need to change it because for all you know you could lose WHP by changing the setup.

MPR

Just leave it.

Mykel_EG

why? it was a valid statement.

MPR

I meant for the original poster to leave the type R intake manifold on his engine.

Mykel_EG

any N/A b20v that can make 240+ WHP on a type r manifold with just a simple bore..... must be the mother of all perfect b20v's and built by the worlds best mechanic/machine shop.

^It's a gord bush motor. It could make that power with a good tuner, depending on all the internals, cams etc.
