Intake for 455 Olds

[Lickety_Split]

I was just wondering what you all are running for an intake on your 455 Olds. I am looking at purchasing a new one and would like some input on what i should go with. I am was looking at the Edelbrock Performer. Do they make 455 intakes with the square bore. rather than the spread. I haven't seen any intakes yet. I assume some one does. Well thanks for the input.

Go with the new Edelbrock Victor.

it all depends on the motor set up if your running enough cam you could go with a toker it red lines at 6000.if your looking for hole shot and a ski boat then i go with the performer.i have it on my boat and its great for skiing and has a top speed of 62.8 on the gps.its very strong through out the rpms. :p

tunnel ram here. Midrange torque is killer!

[Floored]

if you can find one the Offy Port-O-Sonic works well with a mild motor, better than torker and they are a holley carb pattern. Had a tunnel ram and hated it, went with a torker w/2"spacer and engine came to life. thought about new edelbrock air gap manifold but, rpm range is 4-8000 rpm. I run 4700 in boat so don't see use for my application. I stay a little detuned for use as a family boat

Edlebrock makes an airgap for the 455 now???
Or are we talking about the new super-Victor intake??

[Taylorman]

Victor is what we are talking about. Im running a tunnel ram with dual 600 edelbrocks and love it.

The Victor is probably to much intake for most of the Olds boats around here. The only engines over on ROP seeing any gains are setups making better than 600hp so far based on observation.

Back forty gave real good advice. If it's a stock OLds, go with the Performer Edelbrock. That's good from Idle up. The Torker is good from 1500rpm up. My first 455 had a peformer and it worked good on a stock motor. If your 455 is built go with the Torker. The Olds I have now has an Offenhauser. I don't know what kind, but stock motor also. Jay

my step son just got the the Victor for his Olds. The motor isn't any where near HiPo enough for it but the cool factor is huge!
The engine performs well but he won't ever get it into the range where the Victor will work.

Use this manifold, I say put blowers and nos on everything. :D Oh yea, and it's for a 455 Olds.http://www.***boat.com/image_center/data/520/999upe3015-med.jpg
