Whats next after SuperRam
I have been trying to think what mod would be best to do next. As of now I have not decided and am asking for some opinions.
My current mods are:
Chambered Exhaust
2400 TC with rebuilt trans
SR base manifold
MSD superconductor 8.5mm wires
#5 Rapid fire plugs
Descreened MAF
Open air lid
Have but not yet installed:
SuperRam plenum/runners
:D :cheers:

Re: Whats next after SuperRam (MrNuke)
I was thinking the same thing cam,heads,headers. I was just thinking about which one to get first. I also dont want to have to un/reinstall the intake alot I would do the heads and cam all in one shot so I only have to do it once.
Also If I did do heads or cam is there any thing that also needs to done mabey not required but highly recomended like lifters,pushrods :confused:
This winter should be fun :troll

Well once you get the SR on you've roped yourself into pulling the intake at least one more time. :) For now I'd say headers and/or 1.6 rockers with emphisas on the headers before rockers.
If you do the cam you definitely should toss in a new set of lifters/pushrods while you're in there.

Re: Whats next after SuperRam (scorp508)
I just dont want to have to un/install the base manifold to many times.
I'll either save and get 113's, hardned push rods, hardened guide plates, lifters, and some RR's."that will take me a while :crazy:
Or get Headers now and the rest sometime later.

Re: Whats next after SuperRam (scorp508)
I know this is a stupid question and I think the answer will be NEVER but I'll ask it any way. Under what circumstance can you reuse a gasket. :confused:
This question make me sound so stupid I've been told never but when I read about some of you un/installing a SuperRam two times in a day I am like they dont keep extra gaskets laying around do they???

Re: Whats next after SuperRam (vetteguy216)
I've reused the gaskets on my superram and throttlebody either 2 or 3 times now. :yesnod:
You will know if you can reuse them or not. If they are torn nope, if they are covered in goop, nope, if they are flattened out too much nope.

Re: Whats next after SuperRam (vetteguy216)
You have to block off the rear drivers side of the fuel rail. Thats where the fuel from the cold start injector comes from. I tucked the wires for the cold start inject between the runners to get them out of sight.
I think you can make some adjustments to your chip to compensate for sans cold start injector so it start quicker. Not neccesary however.

Re: Whats next after SuperRam (vetteguy216)
When eliminating the cold start do you have to have a new chip burned?
'87 has the ability to be tuned for cold starts, but it isn't setup in the chip from the factory for cold starts w/o the 9th injector. She needs some more fuel at cranking time w/o the 9th. It really isn't a big ordeal. I didn't change my chip for well over a year and it would just take a few more cranks to start when really cold.
