I run a Victor W2 but mine is a 416. I shift a 7000. I have run an Indy but the Victor was better by .03 and 3 mph.

The cheapest best intake is the Victor with a 1" open spacer.
The Indy with 1" cut off and a 1" tapered spacer will make more avg. power but at a premium cost compared to the victor. However, the Indy needs minor port work at the flange, so if you compare a full port on the Victor vs. Indy they might be close in price...only other factor would be carb height on Indy is fairly tall.

I like my Indy... I use the 1050 adapter to run
a 1050... runs great to 8200 on my 396ci... I used
it on my 340+ .030 and it pulled hard to 8000 but
that was about the limit on the cam

As Brian said- the Victor is a good intake for a reasonable price- pretty hard to go wrong with. I ran one for a while and it was a good piece- I would buy it again if I went back to W2's.

I have a Holley Strip Dominator on mine (368") but I suppose a newer intake might make a bit more power.

How much better than the M-1 is the Victor?

I had both on back to back and while I never got any numbers down with the M1 the victor pulled noticeably harder in the upper rpms.

Hi Brian, similar build to the orginal poster,11 to 1, hensley stage 2 ported w-2 econo long valve,72 cc open chamber head, the M-1 intake appears to be just gasket matched. the water port from the t-stat housing is blocked as well. 5500 8" converter 4:30 gear. The car has lazy 60' now (1.60 best)3250 lbs.

Mine is 40 over as well, 3.79 stroke. Crane .580" .600" lift, 268, 278 duration @ .050 crane flat tappet cam, Installed at card spec

2 things I would look at... first what RPM are you
leaving at and have you played with the squirters
and pump cams

Way too much cam for that combo! I would run something closer to 260@ .050 on a 107 and advance it alot.
Most of my 60ft. I found with CHASSIS and not engine, but that cam is wrong for what your doing.

I ran the pro dom TR on mine also and the M1 TR..the
M1 was quicker and faster BUT thats apples to oranges
to the single 4bbl intakes

Does anyone want to take a stab @ where the M1 falls as far as cid and rpm and explain the differences between the M1, victor and Indy and the best applications for each

I think Brian or someone with a dyno would be best
suited for that... it would eliminate some variables
