If cost is a factor, then siamese your intake base, port the plenum, and gasket match everything. It's not the optimal set-up (i. mini-ram), but you'll make plenty of power using what's available. Check out madmax's post on siamesing the base. He posted dyno runs as well. This is what i'm going with, that is until Holley can make a version of thier stealth ram to fit under our hoods.

I think that a 383+tpi combination would be terrible. Tpi is ok for 305 stump pullers other than that I wouldnt reccomend it.

Thanks mike for the link. You can make good numbers on an LTR set-up. I have a couple questions for you spdde1:

Are you preferential to the LTR set-up?
What is your budget?
Do you have emissions where you are?
Do have the capability or acces to PROM burning?

These four questions will determine what type of set-up you should run in your ride.

Lates,
JD
