What the HECK is that????
I posted this over on aftermarket review, but traffic seems to be slow, so I will repost it here.
Okay, so I'm away from the message boards for a few months, and put my toy away, and BOOM, here's this new intake which is all the rave in the chevy world. What the heck is the RamJet? Is anyone actually running this intake, and how do they like it? Can I get specifics like runner length and diameter? How much does it cost, and where would you get it? Can I just pop it onto my current cylander heads or does it require specific heads (which obviously means, low aftermarket selection). How big of a deal is to convert to this intake from a superram or other forms of TPI (which is now for sale I might add)? Will is support operation of 383's+406's up to 6500 RPM??? Thanks...

86 IROC-Z, Retired for winter, weird oil leak (drains out in about 3 minutes), new 355 other than that, TPI, 700R4, edelbrock headers, removed AC/Air pump, heater plate conversion - no heater (loL). 14.8@90MPH

I'm pretty sure it won't work on anything other than the new fastburn heads.

Is it the fast burn or the L31 Vortec heads? I've been IM'ed with a couple different answers.

The fastburn heads and the vortec have the same basic port layout. The intake will work with either cylinder head.
