~1100-1300 new
~750$ used
On a stock motor, not sure, the big advantage is that it is still a torque intake like the TPI but you can rev up to 5800 with it and still be making power.

Search for super ram and you will find more threads on this than you would like to ever read...

I drfinitly felt a power/torque boost. But some do not like the looks or the maintence to install it. The minimalists like the Miniram from TPIS that while it gives higher RPMS, takes away from torque down low. Depends on what you want the motor for.

I have one for sale in C4 parts FS section. Decent offer, and it's yours. Also, the PITA installation factor on the inside bolts is gone.

C4Driver,
All of the details are in the C4 For Sale Post. As you will see by the myriad of pics, everything is there, plus some mods that make it much easier to install.

Yes, we do have a lot of dicks on this forum. But then again those dicks are outweighed vastly by people who choose to help others.

Superram is made by Accel/LPE ( Lingenfelter )
You'll notice a huge increase in torque and I love it. I might be a little biased since I have one myself. I'll second the pain in the *** to install thing, my mechanic had a hell of a time.

You can also try to google it for more info.

We have a lot of guys that can't turn wrenches on this forum too and can Monday morning quarterback as well.
You'll second the pain in the *** to install, just ask your wrench. This maybe the best post of 2006 yet.

ah common guys......
I never used it but what I have heard.

Hard to install compared to other intakes
Its where mini ram and tpi meet in between, not too much torque loss and more hp gain.
I dont think you will be happy with the gains for how much money you will spend on it, unless you have other mods done to accomidate it. It pretty expensive for only a little kick in hp.

I really wish people would stay on the subject of the post and leave the sarcasm at the door (lots of sarcasm above). The LPE designed SR will increase the torque markedly over the factory TP and the HP over the factory TPI. However... the MR will increase the HP considerably further (also extend the RPM range to the 6500 range), but with slightly less torque improvement. Though keep in mind, the TPIS MR is very close to the original LT1 design.

I wish you the best in your decision.
