Even the big cube truck we are building, I would not have gone that route. ITs a tough idea to use that manifold for most of the apps. It sounds great and such, but alot of things have to change for that style of runner. How does it run for you?

vic. jr= total loss of low end torque over stock manifold (on motor) below ~3700-4000rpm. Above that it does feel like it pulls a ton harder. I need to have another set of heads done with the Vic. in mind. The heads I have now are just a set of stage 1.5 TSP heads that were designed for a stock manifold.

what you lack on the bottom, you better have double that on top to catch back up to where you could have been.

A friend nas an S88 that has been modded to 91mm, thought about building the kit using that as a mockup, and then going with the same frame 76mm. I would like to see ~750rwhp with a mild setup not pushing to hard.

Our S88's are no joke, and the S91's are going to be plain sick.



When choosing a proper turbo, if you want it done correctly, you will need more then just the consumption chart and compressor map.
