I am soon to help a friend build a 306 from his stock 93 block. Seeking just as many horses as physically possible from a 306. What intake manifold do you all suggest and what work should be done to it to squeeze out all we can, i.e. port, polish etc.???

Click to expand...

Huge heads, .650"+ lift cam with alot of duration, full longtubes (1-3/4"), Sheetmetal "breadbox" intake, 90mm throttlebody. Will have to spin 7000rpm+ So a strong/stable valvetrain is a must.
Might want to think about forged crank/rods also.


Trickflow "R"

The Victor 5.0 or a converted Vic Jr. The Victor 5.0 is a true EFI designed air gap. It is the best high rpm efi intake there is. You will need a tremendous amount of cylinder head and cam to make it work.

UPS is dropping off a Victor 5.0 for me today. But if my heads werent ported I'd go with a RPM II. In Jan 2006 issue of 5.0 they tested the SSI, RPM II, SysteMax II, Track Heat, and GT-40 on a 347. The SSI was almost identical to the GT-40 on the dyno, and the other 3 posted within 5 HP of each other with the RPM II just barely squeezing out 450 for the highest HP. But the TFS is a lot less $$$ than the others... made in China perhaps?
