superram on ZZ4
I have always read that a superram should only be put on a 383 or bigger. Now I see people on here with it on a 350 or 355. And now I just read in Vette May 2006, that they are going to put a superram on a ZZ4.
What is up with this, they say the tpi doesn't flow enough are for a 350, it should be on a 305 and then they say that a superram flows to much for a 350. And now people are putting it on a 350? Is it the addition of better flowing heads and exhaust that is allowing the superrams use. But then most are going to the miniram?
What flows more air a SR or MR or Holleys thingy? I know that MR is high rpm and SR is lower rpm what gives?

The super ram will give you considerably more mid range power and torque and it will sign off earlier than the MR. But you have to think of it this way......how often are you in the upper (5000+) RPM regions where the MR would pull away from a SR. Also a SR is full smog legal everywhere and it will pull hard all the way to 6500 RPM. We have 383s running the small LPE 219 cam running deep into the 11s. And the same combination in a 350 ZZ4 will run low 12s.
