I personally would go for an Air-gap on a street car, but with efi maybe the single plane would be fine.

 

Why? Single plane intakes work just fine for carbs. I would never run a dual on anything that I was trying to make power with.

I thought about the air gap but I plan on revving to 6600-6800 with my fti cam that I'm getting and I figured a single plane would like that kind of rpm better. Plus if I'm not racing I'm usually driving the same speed as your grandparents would lol. I think the efi would help a tit to though. Not a lot of opinions on the tfs intake it seems but I bet it isn't widely used. I will prolly do the victor jr since it has more than proven itself in the racing world and cheaper.

I'd stick with the Vic jr just for the reason you stated. It's proven.

I've been doing a lot of research on this topic lately, and from what I've seen I'd expect maybe 10hp more at 6500 rpm between a Air-gap with a 1in spacer and vic jr. at the cost of low end torque, on a 302. If your revving past that ( which I now see that he is) it might be worth it.

But if your getting an FTI cam, I would ask what he recommends for your combo. Please do and report back what he says.

 

I tried calling today and they said he wasn't there at the moment but the tech guy swore Ed would say the victor jr. would be his pick hands down. He said if it was a daily he would want a cleaned up air-gap but with me only taking her out 2-3 days a week he chose the victor.

 

There is absolutely nothing wrong with driving a car every day with a Vic Jr on it.

 

Just out of curiosity, have you ever had a 302 with a vic jr? My understanding is that it's a whole lot of intake on a 302, so I'd like to hear your experience.

 

No, but I've had a 351 with one. It drive just fine, and made plenty of power at all RPMs.

 

Just threw on the victor jr intake and I must say it really woke up the top end. I only got to get on her once before it rained. Even with the little tfs1 cam it pulled hard as hell to 6500 or so as where I was shifting at 6100ish before. I am really amazed/impressed on how well it worked out. Hopefully if I get everything else dialed in tmw I'll go to the track and see how she does. Would be nice to nail 11's with the tfs head/cam combo, I've only seen a few cars do it.

Down low suffered a little but not as much as I expected so I am very happy!
