Default LT1 Super Ram

Has any one on here used it? I have heard of this intake for a long time and that they discontinued it but now see that once again it is available. I built my motor trying to make as much TQ as HP and came prety darn close but Now I would like to kick it up to 430+ RWTQ and think a cam swap and Super Ram could net me 240 RWHP and 430+ RWTQ ans all below 6K (My curent set up peaks TQ at 4500 and HP at 6000 RPM's). Here is the link for the LT1 SR base.

I have never personally used it. But it works wonders on L98s and it does work well on the LT1 which is nothing but a SBC with reverse flow heads. LPE uses it in all their Camaro 383 conversions with an A4 transmission. At least they used to a few years back. I spoke with one of their engineers way back in the late 90s and he told me the reason they used it rather than the stock LT1 manifold was to enhance the torque curve of the engine for the A4 applications. He also told me that it was worth nearly 4 tenths in the 1/4 Which to me is hard to beleive but even if it nets you 2 tenths that is still darn good improvement over the stock manifold. If you want one of these email me, know I know of someone that can get you a good deal
