changed my mind about going LS Turbo...now doing LS/vtec turbo...will the skunk2 be efficient enough?

honestly, unless you're going to stay way up in the high revs, the blox oughta do just fine. same as the skunk2, just less expensive.

the edelbrock is fantastic for the higher rev range, but you lose a lot of midrange torque in sacrifice.

all comes down to where you want the powerband.

On an LS unless you have some wild cams and rev high RPMs the Skunk2 will be a much better choice for you.

the vicx will hurt you down low. if you drive the car daily, stop light to stop light, and like to have fun there, use the blox or skunk 2, if you are going to race the car and dont care about anything below 4k i guess cause it isn a ls, go with the vicx.

i dont think it will be a dramatic difference between both in most f/i setups unless you have a full out drag car. Just go with the blox and call it a day, take the money you saved and throw it towards tuning.

Victor X

You aren't all motor....everything changes when you start cramming air into the combustion chambers. Victor X FTW regardless.
