Edelbrock Victor EFI Intake Manifold
2005–Present Chrysler Gen III HEMI 5.7L / 6.1L / 6.4L Engines
7179
Overview:
The Edelbrock Victor EFI Intake Manifold is engineered specifically for Chrysler's Gen III HEMI engines, including the 5.7L, 6.1L, and 6.4L variants found in Eagle or WT applications. Designed to enhance fuel injection performance, this intake manifold offers a refined alternative to the factory 6.1L SRT manifold. It features longer, higher-flow runners and strategically relocated fuel injector bosses to optimize airflow and fuel delivery. This manifold is ideal for enthusiasts seeking improved power output and efficiency without compromising reliability or requiring extensive modifications.
Built to accommodate both the factory 80mm throttle body and the larger 92mm Hellcat throttle body, the Victor EFI manifold provides versatility for various performance setups. Its design also includes provisions for nitrous oxide injection, making it a solid choice for those looking to add forced induction or nitrous enhancements.
Key Features:
The Edelbrock Victor EFI Intake Manifold combines advanced engineering with practical features to deliver superior performance and compatibility:
- Compatible with Chrysler Gen III HEMI 5.7L, 6.1L, and 6.4L engines
- Longer, higher-flow intake runners for improved volumetric efficiency
- Relocated fuel injector bosses to enhance fuel flow and atomization
- Integrated nitrous oxide bosses along near-vertical runners for easy nitrous system installation
- Front inlet accepts factory 80mm throttle body or 92mm Hellcat throttle body
- Proven power gains—prototype testing showed a 25 horsepower increase over stock manifold on a 6.4L engine
- Designed to clear most factory hoods without modifications
- Requires Edelbrock fuel rail kit #3647 (sold separately) for proper installation
Construction & Design:
The Victor EFI Intake Manifold is crafted from high-quality aluminum, ensuring a lightweight yet durable construction that withstands the rigors of high-performance applications. Its design closely follows the factory 6.1L SRT manifold layout but improves upon it with longer runners that promote better airflow and combustion efficiency. The repositioned fuel injector bosses reduce turbulence and improve fuel atomization, contributing to smoother throttle response and increased power.
Additionally, the manifold’s near-vertical runner orientation allows for the integration of nitrous oxide bosses without compromising structural integrity or airflow dynamics. The front inlet flange is precision-machined to fit both standard and Hellcat throttle bodies, providing flexibility for various build configurations.
Performance & Sound
In rigorous testing on a 6.4L Gen III HEMI engine, the Victor EFI Intake Manifold delivered a notable 25 horsepower increase compared to the stock intake manifold. This gain is attributed to the enhanced airflow from the longer runners and optimized fuel injector placement, which together improve combustion efficiency and throttle response. While primarily focused on performance gains, the manifold also contributes to a more aggressive induction sound characteristic of high-flow EFI setups.
Installation & Fitment:
The Edelbrock Victor EFI Intake Manifold is designed for straightforward installation on Chrysler Gen III HEMI engines with fuel injection, specifically the 5.7L, 6.1L, and 6.4L variants. It fits most factory engine bays and clears the majority of stock hoods without requiring modifications, making it a convenient upgrade for street and performance vehicles alike.
Installation requires the use of Edelbrock’s fuel rail kit #3647 (sold separately) to ensure proper fuel delivery and injector compatibility. The manifold accepts both the factory 80mm throttle body and the larger 92mm Hellcat throttle body, allowing builders to tailor their setup based on performance goals.
What's Included:
- Edelbrock Victor EFI Intake Manifold (Part #7179)
