It was a blanket statement regarding the super victor intake. I'm not doubting that you've found that to be the case with every super victor intake on every combo you've dyno'd. I'm doubting that you've dyno'd every possible combination that a sbm super vic could wind up on thereby making it a blanket statement. I would love to have tried ootb, port matched and oversize intakes with the victor heads. I would have also love to have tried two more cams as I think I missed quite a bit of power with what I had ground, but it's just not practical when you're talking R3 cam cores. Like you, I had never used the victor head before. I'm a nobody, don't let my opinion bother you.
