Default Upgrade to VictorX or keep my AEBS... ?

Goin for 600whp with a 84mm GE sleeved LS, Gt35R, RC 1000's, Topmount and 4inch DP....

Im just wondering if i should sell my AEBS and get the VictorX, or just keep the AEBS...

is it really worth it to upgrade?

Im just thinkin of gettin the AEBS 68mm throttle body and callin it a day...

the victor X will make much better power. the added size of the plentum helps

hell yea full race is defiintly a good choice for high horsepower setups.

i definitly will consider buying one even tho its really expensive, altho i am running the stage 3 GT FR turbo kit with the upgraded full race backdoor intercooler 20x3x11 so price hasnt become a object thus far...

if you have money that full race intake manifold is definitly something to consider

yea, i just wonder if most people looking for 300-400whp daily would see a benefit unless they are pushing 1bar+ or looking for around 500+ on race gas. like using 3" charge piping with a td05 takes away hp if youre boosting under 20lbs

i like the full-race design, jesse from AFI has a really nice design and would love to see the full-race, AFI and victor X go against eachother on the dyno. as for price the victor x is the cheapest but the price of AFI's is unknown.

victor X &gt; aebs or skunk2

yea i also think that the golden eagle intake manifolds work pretty well too although theyre kinda rare. also, the bbk and rev hard intake manifolds are very similar to the edlebrock and competitively priced a little cheaper

IMO the FR IM is the ultimate turbo intake manifold. engineering,construction,design it is all on point and Key.

altho like my sig says im addicted to full race lol

but quality is quality and FR knows quality, they are quality

I like the full race manifold but 899 is too damn much for my cheap ***. That money can be spent on better things but hey its Full Race nothing is cheap from them at all. But if I had the cash Id buy it , No doubt.

there really isnt any difference between the goldeneagle and the STR intake manifolds, they have the same kinda design and construction. i personally dont like them becuase of the polished looked and it being boxy

i believe the golden eagle is about $500-600 retail, the bbk and rev hard manifolds are around $240-$340 retail, i think you can find the bbk and rev hard online for around $250ish and the golden eagle ones are harder to find, im not sure if they still have them on their website. but yea, its really simliar to the str manifold but i think that the golden eagle one has slightly different runners and something else that is better than str. and i think that str went out of business and is now doing business making parts under the company name "BDL". its also pretty similar to the venom intake manifold
