Default Mini Ram

How much of a difference would a mini ram make? HP? 1/4 time? Everything has been ported in the intake, I have 24# inj, after market fuel rails, larger runners, and a 52mm TB.

a MR makes a big difference in HP, with a new base and ported you could put out well over 400hp with the right cam (it wont help as much with the stock cam)

your larger runners wont work with it, it has its own runners that are much shorter to increase hp and lessen low torque and it also has its own fuel rails i believe

Am I missing something. He is talking about a mini ram. It doesn't come with a different base or use seperate runners. It has a base built into it along with the runners. It is basically an LT-1 intake that takes a dist. Are we talking about a super ram?

This is a mini ram. Is this what we are talking about?
