Ditch the Superram for a stealthram ???

Well I have an intake leak on my superram so I have to take it off and replace a gasket. Thinking about ditching it and going stealthram. Just so tired of working around its big *** all the time and thinking about going with a fogger nos setup on the stealthram. Should I ditch it or just replace gaskets ?

355 all forged internals built for nitrous.

You could probably sell the Superram for enough to pay for the Stealthram. Several fewer gaskets. StealthRam is not emissions (EGR) legal if that is important to you. Performance probably doesn't make much difference.

My $.02

Well now it's even more tempting because the stealthram is on sale currently. What should I do ?

Re: Ditch the Superram for a stealthram ???

i have had stock tpi , slp large tubes , holley stealth ram , and super rams on built 350s . the stealthram hands down flat out makes more power . that said my findings , the stock tpi and slp or other large runners make for nice bottom end torque wise but but fall flat shortly after 5 grand ( long runner length ). the super ram great intake runners shorter than stock and the huge plenum loses a little torque but still pulled to almost 6 grand . the stealthram i lost torque because of the short runner length it pulled to 6800 when i lifted i was able to pull the bottom end back around and regain some torque swapping out headers ( 5 different sets total ) end result . right at 430hp at the wheels

How big is the heads and cam? How high you turn it?

If you are doing a fogger direct port by all means go stealth ram, way easier to work on

Or get a single plane efi intake and do same thing or a plate system if you arent goin over 200-250 shot

He has alot of unanswered stuff for sure . I've done the trial and error route because I've got stuff laying around. Orr this question is for you not to hijackthe thread,
In my years of ammassing parts and tinkering to find power and what it takes to make it ,ihave what i think is the next project . Solid bottom end built 355 , spread port heads , twin turbo ( air to air for ease street car ) , modified stealthram ( stealthram base with tunnel ram plenum running 2 fast 4150 base throttle bodies ) , and probably somewhere between 125 to 150 lb injectors , I'm thinking i could feasibly make 1400 what are your thoughts.. the reason for the 355 i want to see how far it can go power wise .

Re: Ditch the Superram for a stealthram ???

Well you got plenty of throttle body and plenty of injector for gasoline (race gas like c12/c14/c16 or equal) at that power as long as the fuel pump can keep pressure up. If the block and bottom end is built right, then all you need is a pair of turbos that can flow 70-80 lbs per min each. Typically 70-72mm cast wheels or 66-70mm billet stuff on the higher end of the cost scale. All comes down to the budget for the snails. I made 1400 with basic turbonetics T72 hurricanes at 800$ each. Not bad bang for buck
