Running a MR on the 89 and am very pleased. The MR flows much better than the stock TPI and allows more revs. IDK on a stock motor what it would do our car has a few extra CI's.

I've seen as much as 50hp reported with the superram. Mini pops a few ponies more.
My guess is 55 even with a stock cam. Partly will depend on shift points.

dont know how much power you will make all things being relative but I can tell from experience......I ran 3-4 mph faster in the 1/4 with the exact same mods from going Edelbrock base/runners to the TPIS mini.......I think I went from 107/108 mph to 111/112.....that being said I would guess roughly 30 to 40 rwhp improvement from the Edelbrock to the mini.......to be honest I am not sure if the Edelbrock intake was much of a performance enhancer over the stock intake to answer your question........not sure though

Where is the question about swapping from TPIS long tubes to TPIS mini?
I took it to mean a conversion from stock to a mini. Going from stock exhaust to long tubes ALONE should get most of what the lower estimates are predicting.

I'm assuming the OP wants an estimate to convert from STOCK to: a mini with LT headers. And, the later would involve a complete redo of the exhaust....possibly a full cat delete?
Lots of variables there.

I can see how you'd take it that way. I was referring to the TWO posters quoting gains after converting from large-tube base and runners to a mini.....something I was referring to as "long tubes". I should have said long/large runners. Or, just been more specific.
