Not real exciting, but not stock either.. Corvette Plenums "Mega Ported Plenum", Accel High flow runners, Edelbrock High flow intake manifold. All ported and flow matched.."Torque City"...

Larry, don't have as many as you, but as you know mine looks very unique. It's a Tunnel Ram converted to fit under the stock C4 hood. I've been chasing an oil consumption problem all year and therefor haven't tried it out yet. This summer for sure!!

Arnold, how have you been? The last we spoke you were going to try and dyno the car. You did a very nice job on your tunnel ram
Once I had an oil consumption issue with the miniram were the oil was being sucked into the heads because of the block being decked and the heads being machined down the heads and intake ports did not line up,,,
I had to go with a thicker intake manifold gasket to get the intake and head ports to line up correctly. Another option is to lay a bead of weld around the intake ports and then mill it all square.
I am sort of done with mods on my car, my plan is to buy a Z06 and be done with mods, or begin a frame off 65-66, or 67 GTO project... cant decide
Be safe my friend, alvederzane!
BTW, I may be travelling to Buchen in Odenwald this spring or summer!

I'm not sure if I'm understanding this correctly...the super ram gives good torque, and the mini ram is good for hp? Someone told me you could make over 500 hp with a mini ram and the right heads and cam...does that sound realistic?

You could, with enough cubes, there is a lot of variables, 500-FWHP NA pretty easily,,, 500-RWHP NA, needs cubes, in my opinion

Thanks for the complement. What intake is ol'RJ using as the basis? Is that on a C4?
I had an 18° intake that I started to make plans with, but then thought why not do an SB2.2. Then other priorities surfaced and have not been back to the plans.

Amazing on how many different combinations are out there in the after market for
the L98. I've only seen the Edelbrock's LT intake in the aftermarket. Are there any
other vendors selling aftermarket LT intake manifolds?
