Dave Bisschop's testing has suggested a Northwind intake tested better than a Victor intake, and note his 535 had a solid roller cam that suggests not much more intake duration than Ken Crocie's 535 combo linked. I say not much more because the exact cam specs are super squirrel information and not listed. And note both used Dave's 345 cfm heads.

"We've dynoed this combo in the past and were basically stuck in the 650-660hp range with a ported Torker II and 1" spacer, the new Northwind looks like it's worth 30-40 hp more and is right there with the Victor and then some for this application."

The cam used in the SD Northwind tests was a HR with “mid 250’s/260’s” duration. He’s tested some other large HR grinds in the bigger engines with 340cfm heads that make well over 650HP and are suppose to be very streetable. I may eventually try one out.
