Should be 30#'s and work form the inside out.

I'd go with 25, the same that edelbrock recommends.

Thanks! Another question for anyone who has one of these intakes. There are only 4 bolt holes on each side. It appears that 2 on each side are not drilled. Is this correct?

Thanks,
Chris

It's made in China, it must be better that way.

Yes the new Victors from Edelbrock are drilled the same way.
