Regarding the BOP intake...it's not a junk intake. when placed on Bruce Maichle's engine (which makes more power and turns more RPM than Bob's), it picked up over Bruce's "mega-modified" Victor. When these heads were dyno tested back in February, Bruce's Victor was placed on the engine, and it didn't make any more power than with Bob's basically stock Victor. It made the same peak, but the average was off a little bit. However, we could see that at 7000-7200 rpm (where the dyno test was stopped) that the intake was just starting to "stretch its legs". Even though Bob had the 400-cfm heads, because of the cam, it wasn't meant to make serious power above 7000 rpm. Bruce's intake wasn't choking it, it was just not getting the velocity up leading into the port like it does on his engine at 8000+ rpm. And the BOP intake worked better for him than his modified Victor! So it looks like the BOP intake will be best suited for those that an unmodified Victor will not work. Spend the "megabucks" porting the Victor, or buy the BOP and bolt it on. Would like to someone like Keefer or Vaught test a Victor and a BOP back-to-back under pressure.
