If you need to pass emmissions, the HSR is not for you. Go with SR.

I put the stealthram onto mine and absolutely LOVE it. It has tons of torque down low but pulls hard all the way to 6000 where i have my limiter set. All that with a cam that peaked at 3800 on the dyno with the tuned port intake. With the tuned port it would hardly go past 5000!!

Do a search on the site for more info. It's a fairly easy install. All i have to say is good things about that manifold. The only thing to keep in mind is that you should get a custom chip for it once the intake is on. The ignition advance curve tuning is way different for the tuned port intake. With the HSR intake the motor likes lots more timing, and is not so sensitive to knock. You'll also need to add fuel at the top end.

Because the rpm range is extended so much, i then went with a higher stall convertor. That addition really made the combo. Your car will scream!

My .02 from someone who's been there.

Assuming a 20% driveline loss, you'd need 420 hp at the motor. You'll probably need some better heads and a bigger cam to get you there. Of course the NO2 will also help alot! You'd only need about 345 at the motor before the 75 shot, which is doable. I'd recommend a nitrous activated timing retard to be safe. I think you can get an add on kit for your MSD(?) depending on which unit you have.

I've messed around with the stealth ram, super ram, and the mini ram....the mini ram was the best in my opinion. But I like the stealth ram ALOT better than the super ram! I've got the stealth ram on my blown 383 now
