I've heard that the tpis miniram has problems with fuel or air starvation in the rear cylinders...this scares me when I think about upgrading to a supecharged setup with a tpis miniram.

can anyone confirm this and if so, is there a fix? I.E. Extrude Hone, etc???

Anyone have a s/c'd miniram setup?


Don't believe everything you hear. You can see my set up by clicking below my signature.

Tnt I had this fuel distribution problem Without a S/C so I could imagine that it would be worse with one.I really could'nt find the fix for it until I made my own intake (witch is a 4bbl intake converted to EFI) very much like the Accel piece.I personally would not run a miniram for this reason.

I've been running the Mini Ram with a supercharger for about 6 years now without any problems, That being said, as with any modified fuel injected engine you need to make sure that your timing and fuel maps are correct. I'm running a Haltech aftermarket computer with MSD 50 lb. injectors which run at 85% at WOT. Fuel delivery and volume is very important.

:cool: I use a Haltech E6GM V2 ecm also.

Very nice unit.
Same here, plus I have a Haltech regional office about 8 miles from home, not to mention one of my best friends runs the place.

My car is set mostly set up for high mph runs for extended length of time, I think that if the mini ram were to have a fuel distribution problem ,I'd be the first to find out. The car dynoed 570 rwhp.

Like I posted before fuel injection requires proper mapping of fuel and timing, also fuel volume is equally as important.

8388 are you running an intercooler with this set up.I'm running a 383 with an ATI supercharger 13pounds of boost no intercooler.Intake is accel ported,extrude honed runners and ported plenum and was thinking of going to a Mini-Ram. Also running a digital fuel injection. :confused:

I'm running a Paxton supercharger, max boost is 7psi without an inner cooler, as you know installing an inner cooler would drop my boost considerably.
Same blower made 10 lb. of boost on my friends 350, guess my 383 is eating 3 pounds.
