T-ram owners! need help.
I'am a new proud owner of the T-ram but it's missing original "sidetanks" or plenums (or what you call them..). It now has homemade tanks but they are not correctly sized..
I can easily fabricate them on my own, but need the original dimensions! So please, if you can measure and post them here it would be a great help!
The T is going to a '88 355GTA, with AFR195, hot cam, edelbrock TES and Haltech ECM + other goodies. I'm expecting some great numbers out of that combination! (boom, there goes the T-5)

I might do a search for you later, but now I don't have time.
However, maybe it was SLP-GTA, or some variation of username that posted an AutoCAD looking drawing on this board a while back of the T-Ram. You should be able to use that to help you come up with something close.
Edit: GUess this is what I was thinking of...

Edit 2: Actually, it was this post... by 92GTA. But I can no longer see the pictures. Just the red x in a box. Maybe he can help you out.

As you can see the sidetanks are way too small compared to the originals.
I can't tell (yet) how well it's going to perform. But when I get it packed together i'll have to tune the ecm on a dyno - we'll see! I belive the flow characters are quite similar to superram.

Several years ago, (about 8 years I believe) Summit was selling the T-Ram kits. I considered buying one, but never had the cash.

Here is parto of the reply what mr. Woodruff replied to me:
"If I had one here I would be more then glad to help by we don't. Thanks to the folks who pointed you here
best of luck and when set-up with a cam, slight head work and some bolt-on goodies it's a great all around package.
Best of luck.
Sincerely,
Kevin Woodruff @ SLP Performance Parts
Tech/Sales Manager
p.s. Keep in mind SLP had two different size side tanks one for Corvette and one F-Car, one is wider then the other."
..
..
..
so if anyone who have T-Ram sees this post could go out and measure the side-tanks and post the measurements here or jarkko.lehto@f-bodyfinland.com
