Re: What intake for high end 383?

Well, I did put that 7500 redline here, but what I'm really
aiming for is ~6800-6900rpm peak HP and shift points arround
7200-7300 rpm. As I said, I'm not sure about the cam yet.
I don't want the car to be totally useless on the street.
If that means that I'll have to sacrifice a few hundred rpms
on the top......

I know that even higher converter would be good, but I'm not
into drag racing at all, and on the track my converter is
locked most of the time anyway. And using 4000 stall TC on
the street would be overkill (IMHO, correct me if I'm wrong).

With rpm ranges above, weakest point is 1-2 shift where rpms
drop from 7200 to ~3800 (check graph), and 2-3 and 3-4
shifts should keep revs over 4000.

But anyway, all the tracks here are configured that way, that
2nd and 3rd gear are only thing that I can use.

As for that 2925 super victor. Will that intake clear
stock corvette hood?
