[nelson84]

How much of a performance gain will you get with a superram on a stock engine and intake manifold?

I also have a scoogin dickey intake manifold to be used with vortec heads. What cam to install with superram, new intake, vortec heads?

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 change needed, cold air intake better idea, cold ram about $299, cur small section from radiator schroud, this way air comes in more there, not restricted by plenum or small runners, and intake doesnt slow down anymore either. accell manifold, or the edelbrock are best, edel $450 and accell bigmouth is $525. let me know how turned out
