superram, missing hardware
I know some of you have gone to the hardware store for some of these but I've been to over 5 now and still can't find em, missing some lid and plenum-runner bolts. Also don't have the cold start block off on the fuel rail. Any ideas here?? I'm ready to finish up tomorrow but not without these. Drill and retap to different size is next I guess. :confused:

Are you using your stock lower intake with the 9nth injector (cold start valve)?
For the superram upper lid and runner to plenum bolts, I went to home depot and bought 16 for the top and I think 12 for the bottom.
The plenum to lid bolts are shorter bolts 1/4" size that I found (the threads fit perfectly).
For the runners to plenum bolds I bought slightly longer bolts, same size as before though (1/4"), and slotted them with my motor tool, so it is easier to screw in fron the top.
A friend brought his ratcheting wrench for tightening the bottom ones, which made it a lot easier to do it..
I had my superram off 3 times now, and some threads are stripped, but they are still good. Next time it comes off, I'll have to rethread them though. Not a big deal. The rethreading stuff is cheap..

Re: superram, missing hardware (MrNuke)
The runners with the superram cover up the hole where the 9th inj goes, i need to block off the outlet at the fuel rail. home depot is the only place i haven't tried for the bolts, i'll look there.

I was missing some when I got mine too. I called Rich at CruizinPerformance and got an extra gasket set with some replacement bolts/screws.
Good luck!
