I called lingenfelter directly to verify whats in john lingenfelters book. That is the super ram and larger intake base would get 60hp and 85 ft pounds of torque. add the 58mm throttlebody and get 15-20 more. stock injectors fine and stock cam fine. Go messing with cam and could fail...

I would not buy the falkens, have got those for my mark 8 and they were terrible. they are a cheap tire, they vibrate and have little grip, so on a corvette :puke. Yokahama makes a great tire, they wear fast but are a good tire. I would use the g-force, when its 30 degrees it is usually...

Can you use the super ram with stock iron heads from an 85? My intake needs replacing anyway the previous owner was a jerkoff and tightened the thermostat bolts so tight he broke one off and drilled it out, without tap and die and just used larger bolt, so of course it leaks a little. Looks like...

I have a 85 vette and was going to buy a used super ram from Lingenfelter. I was going to buy the accel manifold later and bolt it up for better performance. I have an automatic and the torque band on the super ram is designd for automatics. What are everyones thoughts on them, do they install...

john lingenfelter book on super ram you get much more torque, higher and flatter curve, plus about 50hp at top end. you need a big mouth intake as the stock will just restrict what the super ram gives you there. also larger 58mm throttlebody, stock unit not enough flow.. lastly no heads or cam...

have you fixed the superram yet? if you got a VATS code, that shuts off your fuel pump, you will get no fuel in that event... I ordered a super ram, if you have got it running, let me know if you noticed a big difference and anything or opinions you have on it would be great. if your still...

I am going to do the fuel pump today.. I only got a 30psi reading and it needs to be 36-40. when I turn key it bumps to 40 and then within 10 seconds falls to 15. my 87 same procedure turn key jumps to 43 and after 2 hours it is still at 33. on 85 they put a pulsation damper on the pump outlet...

when it is not starting, will it turn over? if so, sounds like a fuel pump relay located behind the left rocker cover. Could also be fuel pump or pulsator damper inline with the pump. Have you checked fuel pressure? hook up a guage and turn key on for 2 seconds pump runs and should be 40-44 lbs...

when air switch is on. does radiatir fan come on? when you turn on ac your cooling fan should automatically come on, even when cold. if it doesn't you may have an ECM problem. there are 2 switches a cycle switch and I beleive the other is a low freon or pressure switch. I have an 85 and 87...

Car & Driver stated stick shift 0-60 5.9 seconds and automatic quicker at 5.7 the tb cable adjustment is for transmission kickdown or (downshift) when the pedal is matted. Sounds like a valvebody problem. Could be the valves or springs gummed up or springs worn. if in normal driving it takes a...

When you turn on the air conditioning, the compressor clutch is not engaging. it is the upgraded electronic hvac head unit that tells outside temp and also adjusts canin temp automatically, I.e. you set it at 72 degrees and it turns the air and fan accordingly to maintain that temp. IS THERE A...
