My new Edelbrock intake that I ordered over the winter just came in this week, so if anyone has been wanting to order one,  now is the time. I got the one for the tall deck blocks, I'm not sure about the short deck intakes.

Been waiting for a Victor since September 2020.  Talked to Edelbrock in July, and they had no estimate.   Good to know, maybe I'll get mine too.

Torker is best bang for buck on all AMV8s.

Ton of Physics and Thermodynamics to explain why the stock engine has crossover from 4 to 5.

I would tend to agree, where nothing but high RPM is where the engine will be operated.

For the street nothing currently is better than the Pro Flo4 intake with or with out EFI. Breathes better at all RPM for Gen 3 V8s except very high RPM.

High RPM is just before the engine disassembles itself. LOL

The Torker is finished, so that's probably academic. The Victor would be the intake of choice now although it would be good to see some more back to back comparisons.

I ordered my Victor from Jeg's in September 2020.   Just talked to a very nice lady at Jeg's.  She called Edelbrock, and they basically said this is such a low volume item that it's well down the list.   They estimate September/October2022 for delivery.  Price is up nearly $100 from what I paid, so I guess I just sit and wait.
