408 sbc intake

[zephyrc]

i have a 408 sbc, 11.8cr..... 263-273@50 cam 110 ls... 950 hp holley dp.. dart pro one 230 heads about 5 years old skimmed 50thou.... my problem is that the super victor intake i have is vac leaking after the skim to match the heads,, it leaks from the bottom edge into the valley... so i assume i now need another intake and i am looking at the holley strip dominator 300-25 or the holley keith dorton 300-110.. any views on these 2 intakes,, how good are they

carry your intake to the machine shop and have it cut to match what your heads have been cut. More than likely you would have to do this to a new intake also. If you cut the heads you must also cut the intake.

intake was skimmed by 50 thou on the sides,, have been told to use thicker gaskets,, 120 thou instead of the 60 thou on it at the moment
