Default victor jr for boost

right now i have the stock 78mm intake with tb would it be worth it to install the vic jr or not ? a friend of mine installed it on his 6.0 procharged and said it felt kinda slugish in 3rd compared to his stock intake

Make sure if you go that route then go with a big enough throttle body to justify the swap...

I run the vic with stock throttle body and it feels great. I havent posted pics or vids of my new set-up but when I have a chance I will go out to Mexico and get some.

I'm thinking about changing up my intake as well. I keep reading conflicting information on the vic jr., as well as the FAST intakes. Do you think you lost any low end going with the vic jr.?

Some people have made our stock intake and TB work real well. Then again the Vic Jr is good for boost. I'd rather go with the Pro flo XT.

It has more low end than I can plant. If I had the chance I would use the proflo solely for looks. I kinda hate how an elbow looks on a vic jr. now. Spoolin, I'm still rocking your old Vic jr.

It served me well!
I was ready for a change and the black Pro-flo looked promising. Other than that I had no real reason to swap it out.

OP, most of the big HP# guys on tech are using Vic Jr's if they haven't gone sheet metal custom intakes. They work, does it mean it's ideal for your set-up, only you will know after trial and error.

If the fast 102mm truck mani, with a 102mm tb will pick up as much as it does na, does anyone else think it will do as well with fi. I have heard I would probably want to tear it apart, and redo the gaskets, so they don't leak under boost, but I think I would like to try it.
