I was wondering if the stealth ram is street legal and if it is a good setup?

 

1:depends
2:magic 8 ball says yes

 

 

What do u mean it depends ?

 

it depends on the rest of your motor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It'll be pure junk on an LG4, but probably pretty goddamned good on a 406 with good heads and a solid cam. Get the point? All engine components need to be selected to work with each other to achieve a predetermined result. Just slapping parts together isn't going to do anything. So for somebody to just say, "yeah, it's great" isn't accomplishing anything. The stealth-ram has very specific airflow and rpm characteristics that, when combined with other equipment that's matched properly, can provide fantastic results.

Do what brad showed. Do a search and read the other 3,000 stealth ram posts. It's a brand new device that none of us have any experience with yet, so you can learn just as much as us by simply reading our posts.

 

Wait a another month or two till the next batch of manifolds get shipped and people have some time to play with it .Not that many people have the Sealth Ram alot are on back order.I ordered mine in april and still dont have it yet!

 

Well Ive got a STEALTH RAM installed in my vette and the only problem is that its about 3/4" to tall to close the hood on my 1985 vette, but DOUG FLYNN over at HOLLEY has installed on on a pure stock 1992 camaro and picked up 62hp over the stock TPI intake,(yes it fits camaros with the standard flat hood, but it needs minor mods on the stock hood (two small dents that are on the inside brace and dont show from outside) now to be fair it does lose some low rpm torque but from about 4400rpm and above it allows enough more air flow even with stock exhausts and heads to make that extra hp, on my vette (a full roller 383 11:1 compression,ported trickflow heads ETC.) theres no contest, Ive picked up 1000rpm plus in the torque range and at least 75hp at 5500rpm- 6500rpm] heres my vette


heres the 92 camaro



notice how much more space the camaro has to the top of the fire wall

I think he means it depends on what kind of emissions testing your area does. If they do a visual insp (for the EGR) too, then you probably won't pass.

If Holley was smart, they could easily design the EGR into it.

 

If holley were to redesign it for EGR the price would go up a easy couple hundred.You would be paying more for a new design,new mold's,more machineing (sp?)and testing for a carb#.It would be nice to have but its not that hard to switch back to the TPI for a day or two to pass emission testing (just my opinion).

 

thats what i'm going to do, swap for two days....err i don't need to pass emissions
