Did any of you see this on "two guys", just wondering about the proformance.

 

anyone? they said it was from accel?, and flowed at 1000cfm.

 

I don't really think it's "new". As far as I know, it's been around for many years. I believe it was used before John Lingenfelter had his knowledge designing the superram. I read a statement by him saying it produced great torque, but was lacking in the upper rpm's, so he designed the superram to compensate for this. I have a Pace Performance catalogue, the system you want to know about is in it, as a whole, and piece by piece, very pricey any way you go with it. I'm sure there may be cheaper prices out there for it, but not by much, Pace's prices aren't totally out there.
For a street going torque desired car, it would be a very decent system. AS&M makes a comparable system, as does TPIS, but their's is pretty much a priced-up AS&M sysem.

 

Honestly if I were you I would spend the money on a good set of heads and not that intake! A good set of heads will give you more hp than that intake will at best that intake might give you 20 to 30hp,heads can give you 40 to 50hp. John Lingenfelter has already proved this. The money you put into that intake you could buy heads and do more damage.

Besides I think a Holley Stealth Ram is a all around better intake, it makes hp and tq like a super ram and mini ram for half the price. Also you have a 305 I think all of these intakes are over kill for you. Keep the intake you got install heads and a cam then you'll have a nice stop light to stop light monster. If your doing a whole engine swap then just forget what I just said.

 

1)Stealthram isn't smog legal, owner of the vette had to pass smog
2)He wanted a reliable, 'factory' modification
3)He was switched from CFI, stealhram would scare him too much

It's a very nice build on the show.. nowadays all they build is diesels, which are interesting, but not week after week

Your right, The show started out as two guy's and a garage and now its guys with a blank load of cash. The tools that they have, no one has that stuff in thier garage at the house! A Distributer tester, Battery digital load checker, etc. The show started out as a "how to" for the common man. Times have changed!

I don't know about where he lives but a new law has pass here any car under 95 only needs a safety inspection, emission test is not needed.

The Stealthram is very easy to intall! But none of this matters he has a 305 get heads and cam port out your stock intake call it a day. Any big intake upgrade right now won't show you any neck snapping gains.

 

You are right about the stuff. They even have a dyno. Who can afford that??????

 

You could always go 305 forged internals, HSR and a huge *** cam and rev that sucker to 8k

 

- a 305 won't turn any more RPM than any other motor... You can turn any cubic inch to any rpm your heads/cam/intake can feed it too...though it would take less to feed a 305 to higher rpm because of being a smaller motor(requires less air at same rpm)

305's can build some power though. I don't know why everyone rags on them so much. The only difference is bore size...

 

I don't agree with part of that statement. A 305s rotating assembly will be LIGHTER than a comparable 350s therefore it will rev a little higher before BOOM! There is a post on the TBI board from a long time ago, where several of us TBI guys were reving stock bottem end 305s to 6,500+ RPM and it survived to do it again and again and again. The stock 305s just couldn't turn enough RPMs to destroy themself.

305s can rev higher than the a similar built 350 due to the smaller displacement requiring less airflow. Let say you ported some heads that flow 250 CFM @ .050" less than your cams rated lift, then used say a 218/224 @ .050 roller cam. On a 305 this might turn 6,000 RPM easily. On a 350 it would go to 5,200 rpm. The powerband would look very similar though, just the 350 would drop alot faster.

I can agree with that statement though.

 

Theres a guy in GEORGIA that has a 305 that was running 13.0s, he was trying for a 12.99 but just couldnt make it, it gave up later on now he is building a 360in deal and wish him all the luck. That was really neat to see a camaro run almost in the 12s with a little 305 everyday street car. So stock 305 I can sort of agree with but if you had aftermarket heads/intake/cam, especially a solid set up you could sling one apart.

 

Hey,
The last thing in the world I'm going to do is try to build a 305!

LT1 swap or a LS1 swap is more my thinking. But anyway the reason that I posted this, is so other members that have cross fire or tbi setups could see other options to the Holley stealth ram or other intakes. Also I had never seen it before! It looked stock

This unit came with a painless wiring harness and seemed very easy to install.

Does anyone know of anyone that has installed this unit and are they happy with it?
