Super Ram Intake Install on LT1
Anyone on this forum have an Super Ram Intake installed on a LT1.
There is a 2-2.5 inch diameter hole on the back on the lower intake and Im wondering what that is for and if I need that sealed, before proceeding.
Also a link to an install, would be greately appreciated, to any S/R install.
Thanks

There are LT1 superrams in existance. They are not being produced anymore as far as I know. The distributor hole in the back must be sealed off before use. The manifolds are cast from the same molds and then drilled differently for the different heads.

Re: (scorp508)
I bought the ported one that was on the forum a while back you probaly remember it, there was a big write up about it.
Does the hole towards the front of the intake also needed to be sealed?

Re: Super Ram Intake Install on LT1 (Jimwood)
Just out of curiosity why do you want to get rid of you lt1 intake. I have read several places that the lt1 flows extremely well. Just wondering?

Re: Super Ram Intake Install on LT1 (hz900)
Anybody know where I could get a superram for an LT1? I want it for low end torque for autox. I am not sure I want to spend the money, but I am considering all possibilities.

Re: (scorp508)
Scorp:
Its on the opposite end of the distributor hole, not quite as big, doesnt look like a sensor would go there. If I could post a pic it would be easier.
I was planning on waiting to get heads, but now I want to try it out. Any harm running this thing on a stock lt1
I just got it, the guy who sold it to me stated he was running 12's with it, on heads, cam. :crazy: We will see.

Re: Super Ram Intake Install on LT1 (Jimwood)
The only place I've ever seen pics of the LT1 Super Ram was in the Corvette EFI book by Probst. Externally it looked just like the L98 SR but the thermostat and distributor holes had bolt-on covers. I'm assuming Lingenfelter thought these things would catch on with LT1 owners that wanted more bottom end power or something. I don't think the idea went over well, but that's just a theory.

Lingenfelter doesnt seem knowledgeable about this thing, I kept getting referred to Mr. Gasket who refers me an answering maching. :smash:
Ill call again.
I know Im going to be halfway through installation and find something else that needs plugged, or fixed, or matched :mad

Probably not.
Maybe 10-15 lbs. And it wouldn't be "down low", it would be in the mid to upper mid range where there'd be a meaningful tq gain.
EDIT: you might actually be right....maybe. In THIS THREAD, I tested a SLP T-Ram (which has a very similar tq curve to the Super Ram) against a Mini Ram...which has similar characteristics to the LT1 intake. Indeed, the T-Ram made about 45 more tq than the Mini Ram at 1500 RPM. So, maybe.
