I am in the process of building a 5.0 twin turbo street car and I need an opinion on which intake to use. The motor is a 331 stroker; victor Jr heads, 8.7:1 compression redline at 6200 rpm, 14-16 psi boost. I am looking to make 750-800 HP at the fly. I want a plenum type intake vs. a box type; although I have heard that the TFS Box R is good. I noticed that the N.M.R.A. guys are using a lot of Holley systemax-2 intakes on their turbo cars? What do you guys think? Thanks Jim.

The Holley SysteMAX intake would be a very good choice.

systemax is definitely the best long runner intake, but those nmra guys are all running ported systemax intakes which'll run you over $1000.
I'd put a super victor efi on it, as cast, and save the money. At 800hp with a 331, you can use that intake. Plus it has a lower installed height than the box r.
People will try to tell you that you'll lose torque. You've got a 331 with twins. Torque will NOT be a problem!
