Miniram? Siamese?

If im correct the mini ram is for people trying to squeese some upper end HP out of tpi. So if i install one on a 383 will it be streetable? Or is this a race only kinda intake? What about siamese runners ported base and ported plenum?

Best intake for street 383 making lots of power?

The miniram is perfect if you match it with good heads, exhaust, cam and you don't have to worry about emissions. If you want more low end power, you can have a car thats just about as fast with a high flow aftermarket TPI set-up, but the MR will always make more power.

more hp,but hp isn't the key to winning!!!!!!
on a street motor that doesn't see 6800rpm's there is no need for a miniram go with a good hi-flo tpi or a superram for the extra revs..

slp runners
edelbrock base
ported plenum
larger throttle body


What revs and TQ/HP numbers will that limit me to?
I can't afford a miniram/super ram anyways.
