New TrickFlow vs Edelbrock Victor340 intake testing. Numbers are in.
Just looking at the above pictures while baking some chicken. notice how vertical the TrickFlow plenum is compared to the Victor340. (Almost 90 degree) Bill and I talked on the phone this evening and he wants me to port it so I’ll put it in line for hopefully mid to late November. Usually when I bolt an intake on a head I will take my shoulder and lift up as I tighten the manifold to the head. Well with these slotted holes I ended up 1/8-3/16 raised up on the floor. So I loosened it up and dropped it down some. Bill is going to have 8 sleeves for the outer 8 bolt holes. I will be notching my four inner holes like this on my personal Victor340 intakes from now on. I was hoping for an out of the box improvement for the out of box users but on this runner this intake totally shut down. Now on an unported head. Hmmmmmm I’m not sure. Maybe a test for a rainy day.
