With all the other options out there, I don't see the value in modifying it.

FYI,
You are correct when you say a stock HSR won't fit under the hood. You are incorrect implying its alot of work to make one work.
I have less cash in my HSR with a modified plenum than the cost of plenum & runners (not including the base) for the Super ram. I have about 1/2 as much in it as a new miniram.
I am very happy with mine and it was definately worth it to me.

You can buy the HSR for @ $500 new, w/fuel rails.
Then you can use a plenum from Frank down in FLA for @ $300.

BUT used Miniram's are scarce, and the HSR runners are longer than the MR, reducing the need for gears/stallIf I would have done what TPIS told me to do years ago, I would have bought the MR, and then put 3.7x or 3.9x's or some higher gear into the rear, this makes up for the low end loss and gets you into the usable MR ranges quicker, as I am sure everyone knows by now.
All in all, when you factor in the need for the smaller distributor, and the cost of the HSR and aftermarket plenum and rerouting your fuel lines,,,,, the MR is an easier choice, save the runner length.
Merry Christmas!

Hollly stealth ram
Thanks guys for all the good info.The reason I started this thread is because I was going with the ported large tube runner setup.After ordering two bases ,acell and edlebrock and having to return them due to very poor quality I was looking at the stealth ram and it looked like a quality piece.This should probably be on another thread but has anyone had any experience with extrude honeing a stock base .thanks Steve

The super ram provides alot of low end torque but once the single plane and stealth hit about 4000 + rpm theyre gone
