Default should i use the skunk2 or the jg edelbrock?

did a search but didnt find which one is necessarly better. i will be using an sc-63, nitrous, 83mm bore gsr, 10.1:1, and running anywhere from 15 to 25 lbs of boost on the street. i have both manifolds now and i need to sell one. whats up.

i would personally use the skunk2 because it should make more low end power than the edelbrock in return for a little less highend hp.... every dyno comparison chart ive seen on the edelbrock shows it making a lot less low end power , also i think the edelbrocks are fugly

i have the skunk2, and all i have to say is; if u want lo/mid range power, skunk2 is your best bet.

but as u stated in your setup, i think you would gain the most in the top end with the victor-x.

use the jg, low end power is pointless. theres no point in spending 200 bucks+ and not making any more high end power.

You are running 10:1 compression so if you ran the Edelbrock you would still have alot of mid range power. Also 83mm isnt gonna hurt with torque. 15 to 25 psi definitely calls for the Edelbrock.

On any fwd cars, you are better off getting more power on top. The more low end power you have, the less traction you gonna have.
