superram question
I was looking at the superram intake, and i notice that the ports for two of the runners are recessed and out of the flow path. Does this starve those two for air, or is this all thought of in the design? Has anyone modded it to promote more flow to those ports, by perhaps cutting out the corner and making it a slope instead of a corner?

That corner is there due to the constraints on the design. Doesn't seem to have an adverse affect tho. My guess is that the plenum is so large, there is enough air on tap to feed all the runners.

I am very happy with my LPE SuperRam and the increased Torque it has given me. I know we will get some "mini-me-rammers" saying that all systems run out of air at high RPMS, except there's. I do not run my motor at high RPMs and love the accelleration down low in the torque band. Those that have owned it and complain are those that do not like taking the time to fasten all the bolts that come with it. They want a mini-mum of bolts. I would have gone with a Jburnett intake like ski-it-down and others did. If you get a look at that design there is no blind intake holes as you describe. I have also not had any lean/rich cyclinder differences due to your description, but love the idea that you thought about it.
