Look in parts for sale right now, flatlne has one for sale. I bought one from him this past fall, he's a good guy.
If you put aftermarket heads on and do the gear you want you'll like the mini.
No real pointers to putting it on, bolt it onto the heads and you're good to go.

i think i need and intervention. this sr has become a night mare that wont go away. i can already feel some weight being lifted off my shoulders. hey not knocking it for others but as it turns out its not for me. you know i miss the good ole days of taking apart my stock tpi checking and cleaning in all of about an hour or less. now when i raise the hood all i see is cross bones on top of the motor and a death threat if i dare try to take it apart and put it back togather for any reason.

why so cheap. like i said i sent you a pm. i would change that Superram price to $750 at least. my car is presently for sale, and if i get what i want i will be selling all my mods, and that includes the MR II, and just for a hint, it will be cheaper then $1100, and yes it looks new. if i dont get what i want for the car, i will be installing the miniram on my engine with the 219 cam, and the set of Trickflow heads I bought and call it a day.
