Hey guys. Ive got my ramjet motor, and I would like to add some more power. What do you recommend for this motor? I would like turbo, but I dont know where to put it, and what about super charger? how does that hook up to a ramjet? could i do a turbo setup? what are some power adders that I can add to get me some more power? let me know please.. I want to keep my same computer, and cam, etc.. im just looking for out of the block power adders.. let me know nate

I think a procharger kit would be real nice for your car. what kit depends on your acessory configuration. is it a v belt one from some sort of stock application (like a 1982) or is a stock serpentine (from what) or aftermarket v-belt or serpentine? since your computer works just fine for the normal drivability you could use a nice race in-line pump (better than your ram jet one) like a paxton or aeromotive or even a T-rex, get the blower kit with the intercooler for the 88-92 TPI kit (along with the intercooler brackets and some of the piping) and mount it on your 82. the next step would be to get the FMU part of the kit (which is why your ram jet computer will work fine) and install it in the return line between the regulator and pump to give all the fuel enrichment under boost that is needed (its an idiot proof system). If you are at all scared you could even get a crane HI6-TRC (I usually love MSD but not the 6BTM) to control timing only under boost. get a blower with pullies for only about 9 psi. this would be a mack daddy setup. a intercooled, procharged, ramjet! it would look roughly like this but with the pipe feeding into your ramjet intake where my TPI intake is.

It has the origional belts, it is not serpentine. individual belt for each accessory.. What kind of money are we talking here? and what kind of performance can I expect to see? whats your guess on the 1/4 mile time? WHere would I buy all this? Your just in wyoming, so come on down to old utah and help me out.. ha ha jk. I want to get some more punch out of this motor, and more speed, i like what you said, but where do I go from now? what cost? where to buy? what times can I expect? please let me know.. thanks man

A Supercharger kit will run you anywhere from around $2500 - $6000 depending o brand, model/size and how comlete it is and if fabrication and/or other parts are necissary.

A turbo system would have to be fabricated. You're looking at around $3000 and up. Mostly up!

A basic single stage nitrous system can be had for a little less than or right around $500. Accessories can run that price up to $700-$1000 or more total.

As far as how much power/speed you'll get...
How much $$$ do you want to spend?

I have never recommended something like this but you could get the kinda new 383ht shortblock (SDPC2000.com) and transfer all your goodies and a HOTT cam (SDPC2000.com) along with the custom calibrated ecm being sold for a setup like this (by whom I cant recall) to make it all work. If any one remembers who it was that recalibrates the ramjet computers (this company also sells a closed loop 02 kit for ram jet engines) anyone who remembers who does that?
