I am at a crossroads with my intake set up right now. I have full exhaust, SLP semi-siamesed runners, ported plenum, pulleys, CAI, and 3.73 gear. I know TPI is restrictive so I am wondering if it'd be in my best interest to either get a new intake manifold (Edelbrock probably), port the stock base, or just upgrade to a Stealth Ram. This engine will probably never see a cam or heads swap, so my question is what would yield the best resutls for this combo. I did good amount of searching for the Stealth Ram and it seems most everybody runs a cam with it, and as for swapping the base, it seemed people still had a decent cam. Any response would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

 

The stealth ram seems to have the most bang for your buck, thats what i would go with.

 

If you need to remain smog legal then either the Edelbrock TPI base or the Accel Super Ram. Allen

 

I don't have to stay smog legal. I want this to be more a "street" fun car (as in I don't want to sacrifice too much low end torque). I will take it to the track every now and then, but I want this to be more a fun weekend car.
