We were about to put on my SR on my ZZ4 and found out to our dismay that the base is a vortec style base (crap!). This meant that me and my friend spent a weekend for nothing. I have a stock tpi on my ZZ4 and am about to put a Procharger on it. Since the SR is still not on, I've been thinking about selling it and going for another mod while in hopes of acheiving the same hp rating w/the procharger/ZZ4 and stock tpi. Is this possible? Let me know what you all think about hp numbers and how much difference it would make. Thanks!

 

Hye man, I might be interested in your super ram if you end up sellin it... let me know!

 

sell the superram base and buy a vortech TPI base and port it

problem solved

but IMHO.....the superram is a waste of money

if you plan to use a long runner type setup...use the TPI

if you want to upgrade from that...put on a LT1 intake, TPIS miniram, or go with a converted carb style

 

Thanks for the input! But, why is a SuperRam a waste of money?

 

Because in my opinion, to get "superram type" of performance gains, the stock TPI can be modified to deliver as what the superram gives

that is why i say either upgrade the TPI wisely or just go short runner style

i mean, i know of a few people who have went into the 10s on boost alone with a TPI setup. One was a 383 with STOCK TPI stuff and an S-trim..the other was a 355 midly upgraded TPI and and a S-trim. Oh and another with 355 and stock TPI except Accel runners and went 10.80s on boost with a D-1 with 3.08 gears

The Superram just looks cool, but it is a royal pain in the *** to work on (worse than the TPI) and really isn't worth the $$ to make it all worth

but

that is just MY OPINION...and like they say, "opinons are like *******s...everyone's got one "

 

lol thanks 89PROCHARGEDROC. What I would love to see what you all think is if I would see more than a 10th or 2/10ths off my et w/a SR on my procharged application over the stock tpi.

 

probably....


but is 2 tenths worth the $700 for the plenum and runners?

i didn't think so....

economical horsepower is what we are after

 

I have the base also. What about that?

 

base is good too....you'd probably see a little more but for the price of the superram i personally dont see it as economical hp production

but that is just me

maybe people run them and like them

i just think buying a pizza instead of that pizza box look alike is money better spent
