T-Ram....

Do they make brand new T-Ram, like the ones in the 91-92 pontiac formula firehawks, or is there a limited production of just the T-Ram aftermarket part which I'd have to buy it used. Would they help performance out drastically? Would I have to get new throttle body, injectors?

No they don't make anymore of them. And from what I understand they are going to cost you a fortune not to mention how hard gaskets are to get. It probobly would make more sense to get a super or mini ram. I think the intake is more of a showpeice and wouldn't perform anybetter than the accell or tpis.

Or you can get the setup that is in my signature.

Only problem is that you might run into hood clearence problems.

It is an awesome intake....

There is a thread going in ther Tech/General engine section right now about a guy putting an LT1 intake (almost exactly the same as a MiniRam), on his old style engine. If its ez to do, you could have a miniram for 200 bucks. Compare the two intakes:

MiniRam II:


LT1:


The LT1 intake above is on eBay right now, here's a link to it:

If I didnt already have my superram, I would be jumping on this right now, as it is MUCH cheaper.

The T-Ram has NO hood clearance problems with my boys 92 T/A. He got the car with the T-Ram in it and it seems like a good intake. Heres a picture for you all of his T/A with the T-Ram. He is apart of our car club.
