Running without cold start primer
Is any body running without the cold start primer...........what is it like to start in the summer (I park it in the winter).........I just bought a super ram on ebay and it didn't evern cross my pea brain to ask about the cold start primer and it doesn't have one ...........I could have one drilled or machined in but maybe I'll run without it.........any thoughts?

also it appears the super ram runners are only a couple of mm larger than the stock manifold.....is a accel manifold really worth the money?

You can run the SR without the cs valve.Buy the fuel rail rear plug screw for it when you remove it.
It may take a little longer to start the car when its sat for a while,but really isnt a problem at all,OR you can have the prom programmed to have cold start enrichment done through the injectors I believe.
Also,not speaking from experience but I would upgrade the intake manifold to complete the package.A few more MM will always help.You can always sell your stock TPI to offset the costs of another manifold etc.

If you have a problem with hard starting or extended crank time, you can get a custom chip burned to increase the injector crank pulses so that it will add a bit of fuel during cold starts. I have done a few of them this way and it works out fine.

Scorp...did you measure them.......and did yours have the cold start primer?
No accel base has the cold start injector. The car will be fine without it. It will crank a couple more times if it is really cold, but that is all. You can program around it in the chip if need be. I did.
