FINNALY ordered a STEALTHRAM! advise me now!

It will be here tommarow, coming off is the TPI!

I need advice however, I wanted to know a few things before it gets here.

Will the brake booster / vaccum barb fittings in the TPI manifold work in the stealthram?
are the 6AN outlets on the stealthram male? are they in the front or back?
does it comes with 6an male ends, or places FOR 6AN male ends?

i also want a recommendation on a cam. currently I have an XE262 (flat tappet) cam in there, 218/224 @ .050

I also have, sitting on my shelf, a Lunati cam with identical specs to the performer RPM cam, 234/244 @ .050 with about .060 more lift. the cam was run in the motor when it had the blower and carb, but was replaced with the XE262 for the TPI.

Should I put the bigger cam back in to match the stealthram? Im mainly worried about my fuel economy, nothing else. I cant seem to rememeber getting more than 12MPG with that cam, and right now im averaging 22MPG. then again It had a carb back then...

what do you guys think? the rest of the combo will match up to the cam just fine, performer RPM heads, 3000 stall, and soon 3.42 gears. (right now 2.73's) I just dont want my fuel economy to go PIFF !!!!

Visit www.stealthram.com for any question about installation. I got mine recently also. You should get a booklet with it that tells exactly what buy along with part numbers. There is also instructions with it. "Camaro Performers" and "Chevy Hi-tech Performance" recently did installation articles with them, along with dyno results. Try to find those articles, I might be able to E-mail them to you if no luck. For the Stealth ram, it is better working higher in the RPMs. So I don't know if the Edelbrock 170s are ideal? Camshaft: most people seem to be doing good with duration numbers in the 20s.
