I am putting together a motor for an 86 vette, looking at either a miniram or a stealth ram. The cost is beginning to become an issue. I would like to know if anyone has knowledge or opinions on the performance of both. One other issue is hood clearance, will it fit under the vette hood? I will be running a set of AFR 195s and maybe a zz-9, although I would like a cam that is a little larger.

 

cost is an issue?

No.

You will either have to cut the hood and raise the mid-section some, or have the intake cut down. Personally I would rather cut the hood as holley designed that plenum volume for a reason and I would not want to screw with it.

What is this "job" you speak of? I'm actually at work now, but its slow as hell.

 

Somebody on this board cut down the stealth ram to fit under a firebird hood. He had the fins milled off the top, and only had to cut down the runners by about 1/16". On the vette, you need almost an inch of extra space though, so it might not be that easy.

 

I guess I will be spending the money for the mini then. Any cam recommendations. I am looking for a mid 12 combo with AFR 195s, mini and full exhaust.
