Anyone have any flow numbers for a edelbrock victor 5.0 manifold?
I have a cam card and I am trying to figure this out. I have my head flow numbers already. My lower intake will be opened up to a 1262 and the upper inlet to 90mm. I have no idea how much that would increase the flow potential but a base number for a stock one would be nice.
what heads r u running and what cfm do they flow @ .600 lift. The intake needs to flow more cfm than the heads. Victor pulls from 3500-8000rpm and is a race intake.
well that's the thing TMOSS, I don't have a cam yet. The upper intake looks pretty smooth and there is very little casting flash. Other than opening up the inlet to 90mm Im guessing that most of the flow that can be picked up will come from porting the lower?
the upper bolt bosses need to be taken down in 4 runners and some work in the TB inlet can add power too, the "CNC" port match at both upper and lower flanges has to be addressed as it does a poor job - all of that is need to get to 310-320cfm.
The way to get a victor 5.0 to work right is to make sure you have an exact match at the head flange- the Victor has a real small port size there- about 1250 in dimension. Then work backwards, getting a proper taper in the runners to the plenum, about 7 degree works right in most cases.
When done right, that manafold makes huge TQ down low- see my signature below. I have seen now combo get low end numbers on a very mild 331 as I did using any intake, much less the Victor 5.0. If you lose TQ down low, and its not intended (your building a high rpm motor), then you have mismatched parts!
My upper has been port matched to the lower which has been matched to the heads. The tb inlet has been opened up to 75mm. I am about to jump in on a extrude honed group buy and I am wondering whether the lower or upper would benefit more from the extrude honed?
EH is not going to add much of anything for a very large price for the HP gained - even is a "group" buy. I't a dumb process and cannot take material out discriminately.
Go to the tech section on my website and read a tech article on Extrude Honing.
