Default MiniRam, Superam...

What is the difference?

I was looking at a TPIS miniram setup which looks sweet and the gained HP is nice, however buying their the system w/ the fuel rail would run around $1400 total. Is there any other maker of the MiniRam? What are the different brands of SuperRams?

...on that note I could easily tie up 5K in a stroked 383 L98 when it is all said and done. Why not spend the same on a LS1 and do mods to reach the same HP ranges...? I feel I may be embarking on a major quest of futility... someone please talk me off the ledge

if it runs now ... leave it
this is the wrong time of the year to be talking like this

in the end, it would be more cost effective to get into a c5 imho

There is only one maker for each, Lingenfelter designed the Superram and its marketed and built by Accel now. You can get it other places like Summit or Jegs.

TPiS invented MR and are the only ones that sell it.
