I knew that would get some attention!!!

I have read many threads concerning intakes systems... I have decide to either look for a Miniram or Superram for the most part...

The car is a '90 w/ L98 auto. - The car wont be used for drag racing, other than the normal red light to red light stints... mostly for my own personal pleasure

I'm looking for suggestions, recommendations or options....
Thanks!

From what I have read the SR is the way to go, unless you can take advantage of the higher R's that the MR works into.

I agree. I have the SR setup and I've been told that for your application, the SR is best.

What do you currently have? You listed "a few" as mods.

My opinion is super ram. I have one. Driven hard and put away wet. I have always liked them. Especially w/ auto and 3.07 gears.

The car has - Long tube headers, Corsa exhaust, 52mm T-Body, AFPR, smog pump eliminator, EGR block off & No cats.

Sound like everyone likes the SR

Does anyone have one for sale or know where to buy at a good pice? I see Summit has them for $779.00 - any better deals out there?

Thanks!

The $779 is just for the plenum and runners, you'll need the matched intake base for that to be the optimal setup.
