It's tuned. Every calculator I have used has me right about there time and mph wise. 118 would put me at 11.47 to 11.5.

I am only a 350 with a lt4 hotcam, 1.6 rockers, tf 195 heads, hooker lt, and 4" sinister exhaust. My compression ratio is just a touch under 10.1. Car made 375 rwhp and 350 rwtq.

Re: TPiS MiniRam Owners, experiences wanted.

With your mph, you should be running 11.37 roughly.

Ok! I thought you had a Stroker. 114-115mph range for you at least. Get more air through the intake. What year is the car?

Re: TPiS MiniRam Owners, experiences wanted.

Not stroked yet, I do have a nice cranks and rods for that though. The thing that is killing me is lack of compression. Going to try and fab up a ram air setup that I can pop in for the track. Seen where guys have picked up quite a bit doing that. If I get a 1.65 or better 60 then I will be at 12.2 and if the ram air setup works as good as some say I can start flirting with 12.0's.

Nitrous outlet lt1 plate. Had to cut it to fit the miniram, or rebend the tabs.

Re: TPiS MiniRam Owners, experiences wanted.

How is the miniram with boost? Are there any known issues with distribution or anything like that?

Re: TPiS MiniRam Owners, experiences wanted.

I've had a procharger on my minirammed engine for a couple years now and haven't noticed any issues other than the idle distribution. I run it a little rich for piece of mind but no problems at 10 lbs of boost. High boost might be different story.

I want to say I seen something about the hsr not being boost friendly. Didn't know how the miniram was.

Re: TPiS MiniRam Owners, experiences wanted.

So the local 1/8th mile track has a street tire shootout on friday nights. I have been gone or busy so my buddy has been tracking the car. With street tires and a progressive controller the car is running 99 mph in the 1/8th. I still want to remove the front sway bar, passenger side fog lamp, and cut a hole underneath the filter to get more air and see what it does on motor and bottle at the big track. When I do that I will have the drag tires on.
