Just like the title says. Pretending that money is no object, what is the hands down, absolute best set of LTR runners and base?

 

I'm not 100% sure of this, but there has been an ongoing discussion about this in my post about the plenum being a bottleneck or not.

What I understand to be true (which could be very untrue ) is that the Edelbrock base is "good." Then the TPIS base is the Edlebrock base ported out by them for approx $100 more. Then you have the Accel Superram Base which is supposed to be a completely different cast but better than both and potential to blow the other two out of the water if it is ported out.

Now to tell you what I bought... I bought the Accel Superram base due to the research I have done which I just outlined above. I bought SLP runners in the interest of cheap price, and because they tend to produce quality pieces. I have found that people tend to think the SLP runners are very good, but do leave room for improvement if you have porting capabilties.

 

Holley Stealth Ram http://community.webshots.com/photo/...41861647kByQcT it's was like $450 it has a mad powerband.

 

Talk to John Millican about an LT1 intake. Very good flow, looks nice, and fits under your hood without any concern over clearance.

 

I know all about Millican and his LT1 intake. He lives across town from me The goal is to get my car as fast as a LTR setup will go. I'm running 13.5 on STOCK runners and a ported base. I have seen a guy run 12.7 on aftermarket runners and base, no power adder. Just want some opinions on who's LTR parts are better.

 

I researched all of the different TPI setups too, and I settled on the accel base with SLP runners for the same reasons as L98IROCZ89. When I did my research, I found that most people here said that all the bases are the same, but on corvetteforum.com it was a totally different story. After finding the accel base at cruzinperformance.com for only a few bucks more than the edelbrock base from anywhere else, I decided that there was no reason not to get the accel.

 

I've seen most of the poeple saying edelbrock base and SLP runners, ported....

 

ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US.

 

LOL!

 

i also agree about the accel base...whne u got someone like lingenfelter workin on something u know its gonna be good...the only problem if there is one is the cost....the accel base goes n e were from 350-400 bucks then u got another 350 for the slp runners...if u want to stick LTR then is definetly the way to go...but if u want the most bang for your buck then the lt1 intake will deliver...its 400 bucks and will flow the same if not more then the accel/slp combo....

 

Typo possibly?
Last time I checked they were around $ 260 new.
I got mine used for $150

 

Yes... I bought my Accel Superram base off of EBAY from Cruizin Performance for $405 shipped. The SLP runners were $259.95 shipped to my house. TPIS and Superram Runners are more like $400. Thats why I went with SLP runners after dropping 405 into one of the better manifolds.

 

when i looke din year one they were $349.99 part # f928 1989-92 runners for 305, 350 TPI
and the replacem,ent gasket set was $34.95 part # f79
the 85-88 are the same price...i have the catalog in front of me

 

I believe that man. Year One seems to overcharge everything. Their prices are crazy.
