i think I saw a mini ram for like $850 in the parts section. What are you trying to achieve with you motor? What mods do you have? What gears do you have? Do you have the stock computer? Everything has to work together.

If you only want to change the cam with a pretty much stock set up you should go with something like this zz9 but gears and a stall converter still would probally be needed

MR has no EGR provision, though a tuner can make the thing pass emissions.

You need to give alot more thought to this engine, putting in a hotcam and the MR necessitates putting in lower rear gears as well.

Default Valve Cover Part #

I'm sorry I thought it was Summit I purchased the covers from. It was Jegs. I bought so much on this "limited budget" I can't remember from wence things came. These are center bolt covers and really nice. Jegs Part # is 555-50104.

optimally you would want 4.10s with a LT1/MR intake

going to the modified TPI setup brings different cams into play, as the hotcam is not made for it and doesnt suit it well, you need to look at my website
