Super Ram or Mini Ram ?
Ok, I am in the market for an intake and these two are the choices for me. I intend on leaving the 90 a 350 for a year or so and then building a 383. I will have full exhaust, probably stock or ported stock heads and a zz9 camshaft. 52mm TB and 373 gears. Naturally aspirated. I will commute with it on nice days and hit the drag strip a few times a summer. Basically a driver with a little drag racing occasionally. Not used in winters (garaged). What do you folks recommend? Please post engine pix for those of you with these intakes as image means alot to me as well and I would love to see some engines. Thanks in advance

From what you posted it seems like you would be a better canidate for a superram. If you went with a miniram you'd want to beef up the bottom end as the miniram makes its power in an RPM range higher than the stock internals should really be run at.

You should also strongly consider using the 219 cam, as it was a match made in heaven. (Now literally!

super ram
Thanks for all the feedback. I was leaning towards the superram as it were. Who makes the 219 cam you all refer to? Also, If Jesse (correct?) or Ski down it is reading this, I would love to talk to you about burning me chips even with the few mods i have now I think I would benefit especially since I have the speed density comp.

Hairmetal, I have a similar setup as Scorp508's, was JUST installed, in fact I haven't posted anything yet due to a few tuning issues, plus the engine needs broken in first. However, I can flat out tell you this setup is a monster. The cam is very noticeable, I love the lope & feeling of pwer, and its loud & proud! I say this literally it puts tears to my eyes. Just driving by at low speed on main street in my town, I set off 2 car alarms in one block. In a 383cid, you're gonna LOVE it, you'll be blowing doors off everywhere
