Quick Super Ram question...
With installing an SR, does one HAVE to take off the valve covers and rocker arms somewhere to be able to install the lower runner bolts?
Ive installed SLP runners with very low access but didnt have to remove the rocker arms or the valve covers with the tool i had.
Just wondering..is it really that tight with the SR?

So tight as to be impossible. :)
I had to remove the valve covers, but didn't remove the rockers. Since I'll be ripping them off again in a few weeks, I figured if the allen bolts weren't tight enough, I'd just chalk it up to experience. Considering there are two (three?) other torx bolts holding each runner pair to the base, I figured it was NBD.

get a long allen wrench with a ball end on it and you won't have to pull the rockers. It is a bitch though.
Put those bolts in before installing the runners, just don't tighten them

Re: Quick Super Ram question... (ZBRA)
Thanks...just a note, I dont have the SR or am I installing it...I was just curious.
I used a long allen type ball wrench to do the SLP runners a few years back and it worked really good.
Ths was just a question ive always wanted to know.

I used to have the Super Ram-LPE 219/219 combo on my Z28. I'll never have another one!
I now run the Mini Ram/ZZ409 combo. MUCH MUCH better in performance and quality.
I was pleased with the Super Rams performance, but the quality was absolutely pathetic.

When my EGR Valve was replaced...the long ball end thing was used. It was still difficult to get it off...but easier than doing it without that tool. It's a nice intake. Functions pretty well too :).
