Alright, I am going to search ebay for 2 single plane manifolds. I already have 2 dual plane that are more an eyesore than nonfunctional. I am going to run them back to back and post results. (Weiand Stealths vs. single plane Victor jr., X-celerator, or Torquer) I believe that a Dart or Brodix will push the power well out of the RPM range I am going to be using 5200-5400. I know that a Brodix works great a 6400 RPM's.
My boat has no problem with bottem end torque and pulls great till 4900. The last 300 RPM's is what I am looking for. It will only cost me a couple gaskets and some time to lay this question to rest for me.
Dyno, I'm trying to post a pic but like all other first time things I'm having a little trouble. If I don't get it posted by the time I get my boat out, here is a description. It is an '86 Scarab Panther all white with the red accent stripes.

I forgot, the heads that i'm using have 1.88/2.25 valves in them. Would that make a significant difference? I am cautious of revving too high. I want reliablility. I have also heard good things about the old GM dual plane (LS6).

Ok. I have seen a couple of Victors. One the Victor Jr. I also saw one called the "2R" or Tarantula? I think that one is no longer made...
If dual plane is the hot set up, why do the 500hp's have a single on them.
Just stirring the pot
