It will be really interesting when folks get these and put some effort into them and see how they run.
There are a few out on running engines now but no serious effort stuff.
I would like to see how that 2 x 4 intake stacks up vs a nicely done Victor intake.

Performance wise I hope their noting like the Polar intake. Which for me was a big disappointment over a fully ported Victor. But they both look more like the nostalgia intakes. So guys going for the nostalgia look aren’t really going to know the difference performance wise. A nice street cruiser with 2-4 or tri power set up. Nice Cruiser/ car show type of deal. I mean a nice 461 ci pump gas deal with a performer rpm intake little hyd Crower cam and a Q’jet made 500 hp. They’ll be two nice nostalgia pieces. I don’t know how much of a market there is for them. But hey they’ll be out there for years to come.

So how much HP was the fully ported Victor worth? Have any dyno sheets? Since in you other post you want to save people money. How much did fully porting the Victory cost?

You know better than to ask for a dyno sheet.
That Victor was cut in half ported and now weighs only a few pounds. Has over 2K just in labor in it.
Had a chance to buy it for 1250$ Sometimes I wish I would have.
But then he would not have it to build his Wilcox top end around and would not have it to build the BES Pro Port top end around either.
I would like to see how it turns out.
It might be so good we actually get a dyno sheet and ET slip !

But not sure how a intake ported to some 406cfm Gabby E heads is going to work on 480cfm Pro Ports. The PPs have got to have a bigger port. How much of that Victor is left ? Will it be welded up and further ported ? Then milled ?
Mike straight up told me any Victor could not keep up with his 414cfm E heads. So how does this all work ?

Jeff at KRE has got to have so much Pontiac heart and the desire to bring us all this new stuff despite the negativity he deserves some award for Pontiac Persistence !
No one is perfect, none of us.
