Default Intake Manifold

Still in the planning stages of an engine mod. for my 92 coupe. I have been reading one of the top engine builders book on small block engines. There is a section on intake manifolds. Do any of you have any experience or opinions (pro or con) with Lingenfelter's SuperRam?

It's a PITA to install, generally over rated and cost WAAAAAAAAY too much ( unless you buy one cheap off e-bay)

The miniram is a much better alternative. And...if your looking for cheap performance...just cut out about 2-3" of material from the runners in the adjacent runners of the stock TPI base. It will run almost as good as the super ram, but not loose as much bottom end torque.

Why do you think you need a new intake manifold for a 92? The one youve got right now is perfect and is the same thing as the Miniram.

All you need is a different cam, ported heads, and maybe gears; then youll have all the power you can handle.

I would not even think of using a SR on an LT1.

I agree. The LT1 manifold is a good unit, likely better than the miniram.

Were all 92 'vettes equiped with LT1 motors? If so, I agree, it's already got the perfect manifold.

Yes. L98 ended with the 91 model year.
