Eric, Can you do some type of clay mold of the old one and the new one? If so please do it before you modify the new one. If everyone else is like me this series and that manifold is blowing our minds. I'm loving it!
You're the only hot rod performance channel I've ever seen say we need to get kids involved. I'm older than you and have often wondeted why none of them seem to care. Thanks.
The results from the old victor Jr just make me wonder why and how it works better? I'm sure you are on the way to finding out. Thank You Sir. Maybe towards the end we'll find a new/old manifold that really works!!! Someone send Eric another ancient Vic JR out of the attic to play with!!! Lol. Seriously tho, it would be comical to find that Edelbrock went backwards, while figuring out what the engine wants, even if it doesn't LOOK cool
The taller plenum requires more taper in the runners to match the same cylinder head port. Taper influences the wave tuning and that could be part of the difference you are seeing. It also looks like the runners might be shorter on the new Victor JR. The tall intake looks like the Super Victor 340 intake.
Good for you! I'm 58, so I've been into "going fast" a long time. Learning what works back in the day was expensive. Giving back to the youth is awesome! Only draw back is..us old farts have to compete with them...lol
Awesome information and explanation, guys, channel membership is the way to go, instant results, pictures, video as Eric is doing the testing. No one else on TH-cam is going to get you this kind of data....Channel membership is ABSOLUTELY worth the money!
When I port matched my vic jr to a 1205, I took out a huge amount of aluminum. That was just going to a 1205. A 1204 intake gasket was real close to the size of the factory ports in the vic jr.
Very glad my port work was done to heads and to gasket match intake. He also said no real power from porting upper plenum on motown sbc single plane. Very exciting hearing all of what's coming, great job.
When we put a 4500 adapter and Dominator on our Dart 230 headed 427 with a .725 lift cam the power stayed about the same but the TQ picked up nearly 18 ft lbs , 12.8-1 cr on E-85.
Thank you for helping the new gen into the game. Racing IC engines must continue or man kind has no purpose. We dont know what 7the port match is doing until you duplicate it exactly to the new intake. If it is the matching. Its amazing! But we need to know. As someone else menioned. Please port mold both and compare cross sections inch by inch. Then match. Then re test the old and new again both matched. Lol. I know I know. No way in the world thats happening. But sure would be interesting. ☺
One test I have never seen done yet. Old style dual plane manifold such as Edelbrock RPM air gap, that has been fitted with injector bosses at the ports. Running on EFI. Then evaluate the mixture across each cylinder to check for lean/rick conditions with 8 o2 sensors. Of course the EFI will apply the same fuel to each cylinder but does the manifold supply the same air ?
Great video Eric! Just goes to show you if it ain't broke don't fix it. You should show your Victor Jr results to Edelbrock, maybe they will go back to the original. Concerning your LS comparison, does it include putting a set of 15 degree heads on your dyno mule? That's the only way to do a true fair comparison. If the 23 degree heads can keep up, imagine what 15s will do!
Question: why did Edelbrock sabotage their own product? Spend money on a new casting and develop a worse product? Doesn't edelbrock have their own dyno? Could air temps on different dyno days have had an effect? This is really hard to understand.
Sucks for me. I just bought the new VJ last month. LoL Oh well. I'm still sure it's doing fine on my setup. I'm nowhere near 600 HP so I'm sure the difference is negligible on a ~450 HP engine.
Even if you didnt have the crank trigger you could still put a timing light and verify the timing is the same...lol I think the young person discount is cool.
Man this is gold. You ever plan on doing a small block ford dyno mule? Just wondering, you got me sold in promaxx cylinder heads, I’ve been saving up for some. I’ll be getting in touch once I get more money rounded up. I know I don’t have enough yet.
I have an idea on comparing the 2 Victor's. Block off the intake ports, make a plexiglass plate for the carb mount and CC both, that way you can measure the total volume to actually measure the difference between the 2. 25+HP is huge, there's gotta be a good reason. Do you think/know the CNC ProMaxx are better or not as good as your hand ported Dragonslayers? Are they even close? Can't wait for the LS stuff !!!
I’d like to see the new one smoothed and ported like the old one, I’m curious if the performance is coming both from the larger plenum and smoothing, or if it is more down to the smoothing done to the older intake
Lets hope the CNC heads help solve the old Vic Jr superiority puzzle, all we have at the moment is that it has a slightly bigger port opening than the test heads. Not surprised to see the anti reversion plates don't do a lot, the theory is just a little too simple.
My 406 has an Edelbrock 2703 eps dual plane and was going to upgrade to the Victor jr. Thank you Eric for saving me over $400 for a “new” Victor jr. Shame on you Edelbrock for losing your way and losing my business.
I heard about this test elsewhere. I dont' believe Edelbrock didn't make gains with the new product. What i "suspect" is the port exit at the manifold is a different size/shape and perhaps the "super victor" has the intake charge hitting a "wall" with the head ports protruding into the air flow path, whereas the victor jr have a better port match out of the box.
Could the rolled/blended edge only gaining 2 hp have to do with fuel atomization. I would think it increased flow dramatically but it may have hurt atomization. Thinking that sharp edge helps fling any droplets or unatomized fuel back into the airstream, after blending maybe it just clings to the wall and follows the contour and doesn't get introduced back into the airstream and reatomized. Just guessing
Hey Eric, Tim here, i understand NOT port matching the new Jr.....its NOT gonna gain 25 HP just from that...also, the area under the curve for the old Jr, is WAY more substantial than the new Jr.......is it port size (as in area?)......length shud be close.......i'm super curious as to why the old blows away the new......AWESOME vid!!!...
Yeah it doesn't really make sense. Same manifold model except for different years and looks overall the same (height and runner length), but big difference in power. Yet the mods he showed, like radiusing the top of the plenum, and port matching barely do anything?? 🤔 The Victor Jr ports are quite small as cast. My heads are matched to a 1205. Was going to match the roof and straight side of the intake ports but guess that doesn't even matter now? And that intake being LARGER than the heads "should" fall on it's face but this is another example of that not happening.
@@mikewillett5076 ur intake out-flowing ur heads shud be an advantage, NOT fall on its face.......you WANT the intake to out-flow the heads........or u'll never see the flow ur heads can do.....David Vizard is a big advocate of intake out flowing heads to make power.....if your head flows 280 cfm, but the intake only does 250.....the motor is choked, you want just the opposite......just a suggestion, and THANKS for the comment, i wish u well my brother......

And, I wonder if having the intake be a restriction could help in certain applications.

Or does the higher flowing intake apply across the board in ALL applications?
@@mikewillett5076 i'd say the higher flowing intake is across the board.......and a smaller intake on a large headed motor wont help throttle response necessarily, as in mid-range we lose any charge velocity, as the head flows to much.....the BEST charge velocity AT the head is what we're after, to get a full charge in, upping our volumetric efficiency, and making a smooth power curve.......when you put a small carb (650 lets say) on a 460 inch motor, throttle response will be great, then drive it........under load its gonna fall on its face......idling and reving is fine, under load suffers....EVERYTHING needs to work in harmony!!!.....hope that clarifies your querry......if not, sorry, i tend to go on and on......PEACE to you sir!!.........
@@timothyarnott3584 . No problem with the longish explanation, I like details. And I also tend to go long on explaining things. Yes I'm aware of a combo having to be matched, but did wonder about certain things that could "crutch" certain combos, like the large heads on a smallish engine. But it makes sense to have that charge right there when it enters the large ports and build some velocity. I just thought a way large intake would LOSE velocity on an engine "not big enough". And peace to you too!
The whole graph is shifted up like there was more compression on the old manifold. That’s amazing. Why would edelbrock change the casting?! I know they do testing on changes. Confusing?
Mr Weingartner, thank you for sharing your results. We are learning a lot from your research. Is there a mailbox address I can send cash for your books? I don't have credit or debit cards.

Hi Eric. I have numerous Vic jr. intakes from many different years and none of them have the depression between the intake runners on the outside.

one of 2 reasons. 1, they dont really care. or 2 somewhere they found a way to save money with the new casting.
That is only on this particular engine. With a different head, cam, compression, cu. in. May favor an entirely different intake.
May have needed new molds so they made a few changes?

The old victor jr has to helping with fuel atomization for some reason if it's not air flow
Has to be some good reason. For them to look that close yet the top of plenum mods and port matching DON'T make much difference has me boggled.

That's crazy 25hp on 2 identical victor jr who knows what it could be

It would probably make more peak power than the street one but everywhere else it would be worse.
