Default Hey BeachBum...

Hows it been going for you so far this year?
Get any good results on that ported SuperRam? How did it compare to standard?

I got mine running, just got a powersteering pump, once thats hooked up and I get the alternator-crank belt setup I am good to go for driving it (right to the exhuast shop, I am in at 124db@1500rpm right now). I got alittle video but server it was on is down, if you want it let me know and I will try to find another server...
Hope to see you out on the strip soon!
Matt

Hi Matt,

Unfortunately, my car is not in kill mode right now, thus unable to give accurate results. Just ran with the exhaust corked up, fatties on the front, and I have a goofy tune at the moment. Will have fair results on the modification later this winter or spring, going to spend a little time on my set-up in the coming month or two.

As a note, I expect to pick-up 1 mph on average with the modification... I think its clear a ported SR will give a mph... but never know for sure I guess.

cheers,
Beach
