Saw this on local CL listed as an 87. Just curious what it is.

, it is the SuperRam. This system was a three part system: intake manifold, runners and the plenum. It was originated by Lingenfelter and eventually produced by Accel. It is no longer in production.

It was a great intake. The stock intake system topped out about 4500 RPM. The SR moved the top end considerably above this level. Tie this to a set of good heads and cam and it MOVED.

I want this.

They never sold well when they were new and now you can't find one. At least not at a reasonable price.

They are drying up, if you find one in good condition buy it, seems like when they do pop up they sell fast -- I have the SR from LPE and love it.

There is one on eBay right now for 1,300 (without the base manifold).
eBay link to SR
