Is the Victor intake manifold that much better compared to the Offy? I have an offy right now and I am wondering how much of a performance loss will I have.
Thanks!

Depends on usage really. For high rpm, the Victor has a very good reputation (Ford fit it to the crate engines) and some racers I know have switched from Offy's with good results. I wasn't impressed by the Offy when I tried one, but it probably just didn't suit my setup at that time. What's yours used for?
Cheers, Martin.

My engine is design for a pro street/ race application. 3500-7000 rpm range
I know that you must perform some cleaning of the Offy to get the true benefits from them.

THE VICTOR JR INTAKE IS MADE TO WORK WITH CJ HEADS. THE TOP OF THE PORTS ON THE VICTOR JR LINE UP WITH THE TOP OF A CJ PORT.ALLTHOUE A VICTOR JR HAS POLICE INTERCEPTER SIZE PORTS THEY ARE NOT IN THE SAME PLACE. IT WOULD TAKE A LOT OF WORK TO USE A VICTOR JR ON STANDARD PORT HEADS.IN MY OPINION THERE ARE TWO PLANE INTAKES ON THE MARKET THAT WILL OUT PERFORM THE VERY OLD DESIGNED OFFY.
Thanks!
