custom superram?
I was looking at pictures of the superram on LPE website and the entire time I'm reading about it I'm thinking I can make the box. I wouldn't have anyway to make the base manifold, but has anyone else thought of trying a custom box on stock l98 runners(maybe even siamesed)? I have no idea what this would do for performance overall though.

Re: custom superram? (castivers)
I wish GM would have done something like the SuperRam for our TPI cars, instead of what we're stuck with. If the runners went into the bottom of the plenum like a SuperRam instead of the sides, we'd have a lot more performance. But oh well, cant change that now.
I dont see why you cant buy any aftermarket base, and fabricate your own runners and plenum, if you can do that sort of thing. I got myself some SLP runners, and a friend of mine is siamesing them 5/8 of the way in.

Re: (scorp508)
Look at some pictures of the engine in the old Sledgehammer Corvette that LPE did the engine for. It was a Holley tunnel ram base with what apears to be an L-98 plenum with the sides welded up and new holes cut into the bottom............ :seeya
