Enjoy, and let me know what you think.

I'll have dyno numbers for the Mini Ram Vs. the old Super Ram soon.

'91 Z28 Blue/Silver ZZ4/ZF6
335.9 RWHP 374.9 RWTQ

 

Steve, man, that is one fat shot of NOS you'r running. How big a shot is that?

Is that an LT1 top end?

Looks great

------------------
25th Anniversary Z28

 

That is one nice looking car. Are those ROH wheels and if so what model are they? I also agree with GOFASTER that is one nice looking NOS setup. Man that car must haul major a$$.

 

You guy will feel better knowing that you are not the first to mistake that for NOS.

Those are real -6 braided fuel lines.

Here are some pics of the back of the intake and how I have the fuel lines run:

Nope. It's a mini ram painted red.

Nope. Those are 17" X 9" '98 Z28 SS wheels from SLP.

 

How much did the TPIS miniram end up costing you all things considered?

Z, what does that sticker say on your air intake near the K&N sticker??

Looking For:

87 IROC-Z 350 TPI

Links are not working for me.....

Is it on my end or your end????

Would like to see the intake setup since I am going to be buying the miniram soon...

Hey Steve, those are some great pictures dude. I bet that your car now operates like a different animal. Did you mask and spray paint the manifold, or did you powdercoat it?

------------------
88 Monte SS 355 TPI/LT-4 HOT CAM/AFR Hydra-rev/ T-56 6-Speed

 

That is a factory sticker. I think it's something about the A/C system if I remember correctly.

I paid $800 for the mini ram with rails.
$170 for the AN fittings and hose.
$15 for cable brackets from TPIS that didn't work, and I didn't use
$15 for a generic cable bracket that I modified to work.
$10 for the water neck. (not from TPIS)
about $90 for misc things like bolts, paint, tape, hoses, paint thinner, dremel discs, JB weld, etc. etc.

So, about $1100.

If you are wondering about the JB weld, the intake was used in a marine application and had holes drilled into the water jackets in all four corners. It was also overported for my heads. I had to build the walls back up inside and then port match it to my heads.

Mask and spray paint.

 

hey z that looks nice! is a Minni Ram beter than an Accel Super Ram . what the difference in two , which one is beter?

 

That is one of the most beautiful Camaros I have ever seen. Abostlutley awesome!!!!

The mini-ram provides more top end potential at the expense of bottom end grunt. Super ram is a bit more of a compromise. Doesn't provide as much top end potential, but also doesn't sacrifice bottom end grunt. Super ram uses longer intake runners then the mini-ram that are larger then stock runners, but also a bit shorter. The stock runners provide higher velocity airflow at low rpms which is desirable for power, but they are restrictive at high rpms. Larger runners provide the necessary flow at higher rpms, but provide lower velocity airflow at low rpms. Runner length also plays into the equation, but I'm not so clear on just how. Shorter runners are better for high rpm power, longer runners for low rpm power. I know shorter runners are more susceptible to combustion pulses from each cyclinder affecting flow into adjacent runners, but that gets into your cam setup and timing and more complications.
