I bought this car in 2009. Paid $1700 for it. It was a junker more or less. Motor was shot. Interior was shot. Body looked good just needed a paint job. It’s been almost 10 years since I bought it. It’s definitely came a long way with all the blood sweat and tears. Appreciate the comment. Too bad my hood has a big primer spot on it. I’ve painted the whole car already. But I damaged the hood from working on the car a couple years ago. Hood slammed with something on top of the motor.

I had this same problem with the as&m runners but was able to have valve covers on to put runners on. Not with these super ram runners. Not only did I have to take the valve covers off. I had to remove whatever rocker arm that sit in front of the bottom runners bolts to tighten them. What a pain. But I’ll get it.
I ended up using the TPIS intake...Fits great ...lots of HP 485 HP...Great driveabilty.
Easy to install and work on...Injector change is about 40 Minutes

Works very well

take a look at the TPIS intake....

It's not the intake ports that leak coolant .It's the bolt holes.I had this problem with my accel base.You need to put RTV on the bolts before you put them in.I did this and never had the problem again.
