Well the vic jr power advertisment is 3500 on up so compared to the truck intake you will lose power but at the track it will benefial since the rpms are up the whole race

Yah being boosted will help over being NA and losing power, my verter is 3200, but if I have to gas it more to achieve the same thing as my truck intake, I duno.. Or I might not even notice, thats why I wish there was more info available...The fukn XT's are just to much money new, esp the black one I want...

I didn't feel a noticeable power loss or gain between the two intakes. Truck does awesome on the street and this is the most driver friendly set up I have ever had except for wot traction. I use my truck week nights and weekends only and burn company gas rest if time. If I could get a do-over I would use the proflow intake and get rid if Vic and elbow.

Interesting.. I am strongly leaning towards the pro flow, but *** they are a ton of money IMO.. Just wish I could pull up some dyno's with boost on the vic jr, to see if it drops like it does on a NA set up

my friend is using the prolfow on his truck and it works awesome. here is a run down of his setup. 402 short block 9.5:1 CR with bone stock 317's and proflow intake not ported, just the way it comes out of the box. hes running a Noribilt turbo kit and hes very consistant with a 10.30 @138 MPH with it. his truck is full weight and has a stereo system and cage. its very heavy and it moves ver well.

Yah no doubt, but to be honest I am getting a little bored of the truck, fig this would be a nice mod for HP and also some eye candy. Just want it to be the right one.. Yah most of the results I have come up with on the vic has been on a NA setups, either carb or with the TB style fuel injection. There isn't **** on EFI or boost app's. I would hate to do the vic, it be a total dog.. Waiting on some pricing now on a proflow from a buddy of mine..

To be honest Russ the heat soak issue doesn't bother me really. I think it is over rated, but some will disagree.. If the IC is efficient, there should be no issue.. But honestly I have not heard any thing about it
