TPIS Mini-ram III.......??????
Will this intake work with Vortec-Iron heads? If so , how much is it? If my SDPC vortec TPI intake doesnt come in soon, I'm going to get my money back and look into other options !!
Is anyone on this board running a Mini-ram III??????

Its nothing other than one mans opinion
But there is another thread somewhere floating around this board where I had just gotten back from the machine shop where I laid out every aftermarket SBC head imagnineable on a table and started comparing them on engineering and workmanship points...
The fastburns were probably by far my least favorite due to a few things like the valves, the bolts around the coolant passage (angle and location) and the roughness of the cast, and minimal machine work
The only good point to them is they were probably the lightest or at least they had the least material around the intake runners, which may be a bad thing if you like to go crazy with a die grinder.
Only opinions

Oh yea...
not to mention the incompatibility with fastburns... I like being able to use *any* SBC intake on my heads instead of only the 1 option for fastburns and EFI, or the one or two options for carb guys.
