Has anyone with a blown/turbo car had any problem with the top of the stealth ram lifting off? This may seem like a dumb question but, if a blower/turbo can lift a head with 10-17 bolts holding it down why the plenum? It only has four little bolts holding it on. Your thoughts are appreciated.-Jeff

 

big difference between 8-16 psi boost and 25000 to 50000 psi of combustion.

 

The plenum bolts are pretty long. Id think they would do the job just fine. Either way I'm about to do a blower/AFR/stealth ram build so i'll let you know soon enough.

 

This guy is pushing some boost.Id say worrie about the rubber boots poping 1st befor pulling the plenum bolts out.

Thank you for your input people. B4Ctom1, you make a very good point.

 

I use one with 14lbs of boost, with no problems. Although throw
the flimsy gaskets out that come with it and make your own. They
did push out the first time i got into it.

 

thats interesting to know!

 

I have blown the head gaskets twice, the intake tubes, but never the top of the intake.

 

I figured headgaskets or bellows would be the 1st to go.

Have you considered a composit gaket or oring block/head for wirelocks?

 

Yes- I have the wirelocs in now-it also helps to have a safe A/F ratio-something about running 20+ lbs. and 17:1 A/F.......boom!

So I "detuned" it now to only 11.95 PSI and 11.5 A/F.

 

Dammm,

Any new Pic's or videos at all..
