SuperCharger would help anything. SR may be weak uptop compared to other intakes, but with the correct setup it's an 11second 350.

Also, it the best 50-state legal intake...if emissions is a concern.

I'm so glad Holley made an EGR version of the HSR.... NOT!

I will never understand why they didn't. "Hey guys, here's a great intake, but if you have to pass a NOx check, your screwed."

Do your own tuning, it will let u help the NOC out real quick for passing :-)

Once u have that under control.... tack 2 studs to the side of the HSR and install fake egr valve :-)
Make sure tor un equally fake egr control solonoid.

Unless they ask for EO numbers your ok :-)

later

I'd hate it put my faith in that, then not be able to pass for whatever reason, and not drive the car due to expired tags....
Can you really tune out the EGR without using a high duration cam? Are you just dumping fuel into the motor too keep it cool?

Couple thing...Accel also make runners and the SR base, Edlebrck too, that are 50-state legal...prbably a few more as well.

Re: the EGR mod...no good if you have to have a functional test...probably okay for sniffer-only. Unsure on the legalities though.

Edelbrocks base sucks, and LTR's are what I tihnk he's trying to stay away from (note him asking about hi rpm power)

I agree, but didn't want anyone who read above about "the only" to be misled.
