Its a 2 piece intake, those are the bolts that hold it together. Whats awesome is the ports on the intake almost match up perfect to the ports on the heads. Should flow pretty damn good.

I honestly am not sure why 2 piece, I believe it is for porting purposes. The split section is oringed so I am pretty confident that it will not leak. I honestly don't know of anyone that is throwing boost at this intake but I am sure Cary has more info on that. Honestly I think my heads and intake are overkill but I was going to do a NA setup originally. I ended up feeling like I would not be satisfied unless I had some sort of forced induction being that I had a Prochger previously.
I ran the Vic jr previously and it is a great intake but if you are anything like me you always want something better. Regarding this intake...there is nothing better.

Only thing I dont like about the aluminum intakes is how they turn into a heat sink on a street driven vehicle, but at the track they retain coolness from ice bags better...
Id be interested in how that intake compares to a sheetmetal intake. youve got some major plenum volume there.

those intakes have shown 60-70hp gains above the L92 versions of the Vic Jr and some have switched from sheetmetal to Cary's intake and shown similar gains. I'm looking into the cast version for my build since they dont make a Super Vic for Square ports yet. Look in the GEN IV sections on Tech, there are several running them... nice builds going on in the FI and N2O sections as well utilizing heads and intakes prepped by Cary.
theyre pricey as hell but for a build like this its a must IMO...
Why a TB and elbow vs a 4bbl 4500 flange setup? The elbows are commonly known for killing velocity into the plenum, The accufab TB uses all GM sensors too
which is also why there will be one topping my current build. I understand it isnt AS important with a turbo setup, but your ***** deep in it already, why not??

I would like to go with a 4 barrell but I would still have to use a carb hat which I am not to fond of. I think the elbow with the 105 throttle body will package better.
