victor x is overkill and is better for turbo setup. It's to big and all motor can't suck the amount of air fast enough.

just because pro3's made more peak hp to brag about online, it doesnt mean it would be faster, and a smaller cam could very well produce a better powerband

Thank God someone else can relate to the angle I was approaching. 3whp up top does not make up for 5-7+ throuhout the whole powerband as you have proven with your turbo example as well. Oh well I was just "reading" and "assuming"
I can't believe the use of CTR's in an LSV is being overlooked so generously...
