Stealth ram owners....
have any of you simply swapped out your TPI for a stealth ram and used everything else the same? like injectors? FP? I did, just for a base line, i have the fuel rail kit with the non adjustable reg. and the same injectors i had on my high flow tpi setup. I also have no PROM tuning. with my TPI setup my spark plugs had a nice tan color to them and the car ran very well even with no tuning. however, i have been running the stealth ram for quite some time now and today decided to look at a plug after i drove home from work. so after letting the car cool down, i looked the the #1 plug and it was very white. im not too worried because i just ordered bigger injecotrs AFPR and will be tuning my car hopefully this winter when i get a laptop. i was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this. however, i am very pleased with the oeverall performance of my stealth ram.

You can use everything except the intake, rails and regulator from your TPI stuff. I modified mine a lot, but it wasnt necessary. I cut my stock lines down by the torque converter, double flared them, and then screwed in steel braided lines to get me to the rails. The lines cost me $103 from NAPA which is pretty pricey but oh well. You'll need miscelaneous vaccum fittings also that ran me about $20 all said and done. Is that what you wanted to know? I'm stalling at 3500 so I cant tell you how low end torque is with this manifold.

uhhhh....not really, i have been running the stealth ram for about two months now, i was just wondering if people that used the same injectors and fuel pressure have experienced lean problems, i just re-read my post and now see how it was a bit confusing. sorry, but thanks for the response anyway

Okay, sure. Ya, I had no idea what you were lookin' for.
Okay, I'm running rich... but then again, I'm SD and I'm only pulling about 15" Hg at idle. Monday I have an appointment with fastchip for a dyno run and chip tune. Whew, expensive appointment. As far as running with my stock chip, I ran my 30#s and fouled a set of plugs trying to break her in. I put in some 19s and I'm still rich. Will have to be monday before I can get her tuned up properly.
