CamaroX84

I'm looking to buy either the SuperRam with the Edelbrock base, or port my plenum, and get Edelbrock runners and the base. I'm also going to buy a set of heads, probably the AFR 190s. Which of the two TPI intake setups would best suit my setup? Anyone running a similar setup? Also, would this be a good formula for 12s? Any opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I ordered AFR 190's, a complete SuperRam intake, and LPE 219 cam a couple weeks ago. Still waiting for all the parts to get here so no times to post yet. I also got a Vigilante TQ converter w/ 2200 stall (LPE recommended 2200), and I'm swapping my 2.77 9-bolt for a 3.42 10-bolt w/ Auburn Pro posi(10-bolt built to the specs in the 2 articles in the archives on beefing up 10-bolts). I plan on getting a Pro-Built 700R4 tranny soon too. And I have Spohn sub-frames, adj. LCA's, and LCA brackets waiting to go on the car. I believe this is a SOLID mid to high 12 second setup w/ some drag radials or street slicks and VERY, VERY streetable. The car should make around 425 HP at about 6000 rpm or a little less, and have a TON of torque. There are some Corvette guys on www.corvetteforum.com w/ this setup, one of them is running 11.5's (but w/ a light Vette and a built 383 shortblock as opposed to my stock 350 shortblock). Here's his address: http://www.corvetteforum.net/c4/beach_bum/
Check out the corvetteforum, these guys have the timeslips and dyno charts that prove this is a good setup and it will be extremely streetable. I thought about this setup or a high-revving miniram setup. I chose this over the mini-ram for 2 reasons: 1) my car is my daily driver and driven exclusively on the street (although I plan to go to a track a few times after this setup is put in) so streetability is key for me, and 2)the mini-ram likes to make power at 5000-7000 rpm, too high for my 80k mile stock shortblock to rev and I personally feel that 7000 rpm is pretty high for the street.
Don't forget to burn your own PROM, have one burnt during a dyno session, or get DFI. To make this work at it's best (if at all?), I don't think the stock chip will handle it.
