Now that looks quite promising and well worth trying the Northwind.

Quick question - are you currently running the original 8.5” 10-bolt rear end in your T/A ? And if so what axles/spline count and which limited slip differential are you using ? Thanks!

My buddy Ed, made 810 hp with Northwind, but its a solid roller. 535 ci. To fit everything under the hood. Thats with 1” spacer.

I was a little surprised, of course it made more with the Victor I think around 835 hp. But its a street car on pump gas.

Reading SD Perfromance testing where he says [quote ] With a CNC port matched Victor and CNC plenum (previous testing showed the modified plenum was worth 20-25hp) [quote ] i’m laughing because when I said my unport Victor vs me fully ported Gabby intake made 25-30 more hp over the unported Victor. It was question? LOL remember though my Victor was cut in haft and a big incase in platinum area as well as runners size. But also Pro System carb 1150 cfm.

My question would be whats your cubic inches? Just remember SD example is with a 535 ci. Which is dying for more intake if your in the 462 ci range you might not see same results. Just keep that in mind, I mean other then a back to back swap at the strip or dyno which probably isn’t worth the money and aggravation. Because other thing may come into play. Like jetting….. maybe

466..Swap at the track wouldn't be too bad. Water crossover stays on engine..on the other hand I have a pretty good grip on the tune on what it should run.

I guess you never know until you give it a shot. Be interesting for sure.
