good deal, any ETA on the new setup?

Hmm, makes me rethink that FAST 90/LS2 TB plan I was set on. What is the rpm range that Edelbrock advertises with the Victor Jr.?

Since you have a returnless fuel system, why did you put the y on the factory fuel line and then into each rail when there was already a crossover line?

Also, did you do any porting of the manifold or just bolt it on?

Not sure... still have to iron out some details on the 1991 Vette conversion before I can divert funds and time

The fuel system goes from the factory connector to a NOS (brand name!!!) 6AN y-fitting. Then it goe to each individual rail at the front via 6AN hoses. Both rails are joined at the rear with another 6AN crossover hose. The hoses are Aeroquip TFE (Teflon inside with braided stainless outside). I thought about just going into the end of only one fuel rail... but I didn't like the thought of any one injector being "last" in line. It just seemed like fueling a "loop" was a better idea. I couldn't think of any reason not to do it like I did.

Here's a link to the porting I did here.

SOunds like a good way to ensure equal amounts of pressure on both rails...

Good deal! Glad to see someone went this route on their truck. Quick question. Everything I've read on this intake says its good up to 600hp. Will it be good for over that number?

My rough calculations on cross section suggest that my ported Edelbrock is nearly 25% larger at the choke point (under the injector) than the LS6 manifold. It's no sheetmetal intake... but its no slouch either

I'm really looking forward to seeing some numbers on this setup. I've never really been impressed with what little we've seen from the ls6 intakes, yet I know something has to be done for our higher end numbers. Our intakes SUCK!
