Has any one compared the TPIS Mini-Ram with Holleys Stealth Ram, or heard power comparisons. I want to convert my 1988 IROC L98 to one of these two setups but want to be sure i make the right choice. thanks!!!

Unless your doing a complete engine build-up, don't go w/ the Miniram. Its basically an RPM only intake. You need better heads and a much bigger cam to utilize the miniram. You loose sooo much bottom end as compared to a TPI. If you want to just change over, then maybe do more later, go w/ the HSR. Then you won't loose so much torque. Plus the difference in $...

You could also look into one of John's converted LT1 intakes. There's one for sale in the classifieds for like $400 obo. Complete, fully converted w/ all the stuff to put it on...

Well I plan to put in some suspension work, TCI Street Fighter Trans w/12" converter and Hurst quarter stick shifter(also a kick down valve and tranny cooler), built rear end with 3.42 gears or 4th gen rear, and a cowl hood(to accompany the stealth ram). To top it off I was thinking of a ZZ9 cam and an ATI supercharger-P600B(9psi). But I am confussed with what heads I should go with, any suggestions?

What size motor? With a s/c motor you can run larger heads then normal bcuz you dont have to worry as much about port velocity bcuz of the positive pressue on the intake side.

IROC of 88

I really like the stealth ram, and i really like the pro action lighting heads.... both are much cheaper than similar quality parts, such as the mini ram and AFR heads
