Will AS&M siamesed runners work with SR plenum???

It's apparent that AS&M siamesed runners are the best of the aftermarket, but my question is, will they work with the Super ram plenum? It looks like the SR runners are a little different, but it's hard to tell. If they don't work together, then what's better, ported stock plenum and AS&M, or SR plenum and runners. I'm doing research on building a 383, and I think Mini ram isn't an option because of no EGR (you'd think with the cost of that and all the extra's you need, they'd make one with EGR provisions). Thanks

Nope, totally different plenums between the stock style and the SuperRam. Which would be better is a toss-up, but the stock plenum and AS&M runner combination would be easier to install than the SuperRam plenum and runners.

Greg is right the SR Plenum is totally different and the AS&M runners are designed for the stock plenum. The SuperRam is a major pain to install. I have heard it called the "Super Pain in the A$$ Ram".

With a little bit of up-front work, I think you can make the Super Ram as easy to install, if not easier, than the LTR set up. If interested, e-mail me and I'll send you a write-up of the installation routine. I spoke with a performance shop owner who verified that this is how he does every one he installs, and it is how I will install mine.
