The so called "Turtle Ram" interest list.
This thread's purpose is to un clog the BBK intake thread in the TPI forum of all the people's posts saying "i'll buy one!". all you need do is throw up a "count me in" post here to show your support and potential purchase of the much anticipated "Turtle Ram".

Re: The so called "Turtle Ram" interest list.
Although I
am buying one, I was honestly anticipating something entirely different from Bryan. Figured since they have the rights to all of their intakes, why not follow a similar "design" to that of some of their other's. I was ready to be floored if the new TPI intake looked anything like this one, and I know everyone one of you guys here, as well, would have literally been humping your monitors if the design below were in fact the case;

Re: The so called "Turtle Ram" interest list.
I'd buy one, if it is smog legal in CA and performs about as good as the Super Ram, which is butt ugly besides being hard to work on. My "built motor" is waiting on the stands, but I don't think the guys will let me be the first on the block to try it out.

Re: The so called "Turtle Ram" interest list.
I'm interested. Especially if it's in the $400 range. I really hope it will be done by summer. I doubt it though.

As long as it performs well, is a quality piece, reasonable price and can bolt on my E-Tec (Vortec) heads I am in.

Re: The so called "Turtle Ram" interest list.
My new motor is still in the corner waiting on heads and an intake. I would like to see some flow numbers on this intake to see which heads I will be buying. I am very interested, was going to use a superam but they are getting hard to find and a real pain in the but to install or work around.

I'm interested also. As long as it's a good price, and fits as a bolt on replacement for TransAms with no cutting of the hood bracing or removal of the under hood insulation.

They are making it to fit a Corvette. If so it should fit a TransAm with no problem.
