Super Ram Torque Curve
I've purchased a used Accel SR and I'm planning on coupling it with a Lingenfelter 74219 cam and AFR 195 heads. I'm stuck with using the stock exhaust manifolds due to CA smog laws but the rest of the exhaust has been increased to 2-1/2" dia with a Magnaflow cat and Corsa exhaust. I've heard th SR, cam and heads should be a fairly common combination. I was wondering if anyone has dyno results from this or something very similar. I'm curious how much torque will be lost on the bottom end.

I also have a superram. I have headers and duel exhaust, I keep the stock exhaust to pass smog every 2 years. I didn't notice any drop in torque. I don't have any before and after dyno numbers, but the car ran quicker at the drags.

Yea, I was looking at the runners on the Super Ram. They are quite a bit larger than the stock runners. It only makes sense the exhaust should be the same size. After the next smog check I may get some 1-3/4" long tubes. The extra power is very tempting. They're just a hassle to swap out every two years.

I have LPE SS 1 5/8 long tubes, no cat then y-pipe into Mid America chambered muffler elims. It's loud, fubared my digi camera mic when I did my first burnout.
I can't remember how to post youtube vids but if you go and search "snakecharmer383" you will find it.
My car is currently at the shop. Getting Spec Stage 2+ with alum. flywheel plus complete new rearend from www.newmancarcreations.com with 3.73 gears. Ripper shifter and some DRM camber and trailing arm brackets for the suspension. I can't wait!!

I worked over a Super-Ram intake manifold and runners. This was on a 400 cubic inch SBC. I opened up the intake manifold runners and shaped the entry into the heads to a better angle.
The runners themselves are somewhat restricted in the "elbow" area. I opened them up and and shortened the runners to two inches. Anyways the motor increased in both torque and horsepower even with the shorter runners. There is a thread on 3rdgen.org with pictures and results. Here is a link to that thread.

So if the muffler eliminators FUBARed your camera, Just think what they are doing to your ears. I had the Mid America eliminators when I first got the car. Could not hold a conversation inside. Went to Corsa and never regretted it.
That's some great work you've done. You're setting a standard very few can keep up with.

Thank you. I don't have many passengers with me so I'm used to talking to myself! 
Never been a big fan of mufflers. I was thinking about jumping up to 1 3/4 headers if I could find a deal on a set.
Good luck in your build.
