Which of these IM's would be good for street/strip performance.

Edelbrock Victor X
Skunk2
BLOX Racing

depends on the setup.
stock? none of them will help. they'll only hurt.

 

go with the skunk 2 and get the skunk 2 throttle body too if you can.

 

look at the key operating ranges on all of them, example: 7-10k i think is JG and skunk2, if that is what you want, you will loose low and mid power, but if you are going to build up th engine, that would be great for racing

what mods do you have/plan

 

okay, JG Edelbrock is truly meant for either super-high-revving N/A engines or turbo engines. if you plan on spending a good chunk of time over 7k RPM or getting a turbo kit, get that one.

skunk2 is good for aftermarket cams, headwork, etc. not the god of an intake manifold that the JG, which is good, b/c if you've looked at the JG you'd need one HELL of a sweet N/A motor to make that thing actually make a decent power gain. the Skunk2 will provide decent gains for somebody with maybe just aftermarket cams, or cams and light headwork.

as for the BLOX, it's a basically direct copy of Skunk2.

so pick your poison, buddy.

 

Thanks for the low down, I think I'll be getting me a Blox or Skunk2 with a matching TB. I'm planning on getting the usual, I/H/E, high -flow cat, and cams and some mild head work. Thats about it though, aybe if time allows me, I'll get a Turbo Kit but don't want to deal with the hassles of tuning and managing it so it runs correctly.

you're going to turbo your car, but not tune or manage it??
good luck with that.

A skunk2 mani on a stock ls engine is worthless IMO. If you go turbo get a tune soon, you will thank yourself later.

 

That didn't come out right, I meant I MIGHT get a Turbo Kit, but probably not because of the cost of tuning and such, sorry about that I know you guys are probably like that guy is an idiot and is gonna end up with a high comp. exlposion, I seen it before w/ my friend's Civic like 4 times already. Sorry about the fuzzy post.. hope this clears it up.
