Default Super Ram Installed

I bought my Super Ram on ebay from a member on this site. Great price and in great shape. I used help and chat from many forums. No one could answer all my questions but were close. I put this on with a lot of great advice from many people. I posted my install on another site where a few former members from this site had the information I needed that I could not find here, I have learned that this install is not as hard as I was told, Yes if you rush and don't have the tools needed on parts it can be frustrating,
I took this apart and put it back together several times, Dropped bolts down runners. Used my scope to find them. Was a lot of fun,
am posting my install with a lot of pictures I could have used . Hope this answers a few questions.

You will like the SuperRam. Great all around manifold. I ran one for over 10 years with great results.

If you're able to paint them, they look much nicer than if you simply installed them with the factory look. And yes, that is a 58mm TB. My setup required a larger one, mainly due to all the other engine modifications I made.

I've never had her on the track but she's a freaking rocket ship. My builder told me she should do in the 11's. I took my son's friends (17 y.o.) out for a "jaunt" one at a time and each one's eyes seemed to be bulging out of their socket during the run. It was funny. When we were done, they were all smiles and very complimentary about the car.

To be honest, the best part was knowing that my son was happy because he looked good in front of his friends.
