Super ram VS. Stealth Ram ??
ok i want to buy a new tpi setup for my 1990 5.7 tpi camaro
i hear talk of both the accel superram and the holley stealth ram,
which one is better ? or is there any other besides those 2 that are better?
thanks

 

go to www.stealthram.com and look in the flow comparison section. also intake comparison.

 

Having used the SR, I can testify that it does a good job. Currently I can pull till 6000 where the tranny shifts.

 

I am a fan of the accel superram(you mean the big pizza box right)mix that with the vortec maniflod and head swap and a hot cam say hello to the 12's.Well you can go bigger on the cam if you don't mind the down falls(emissions)

 

Why the vortec heads tho? You'd be restricted with the manifold you choose to run. BTW, although they say you can use stock manifold with the SR intake, I wouldn't recommend it. Reason was that when I put one of the runner gaskets (stock) against my SR manifold, I could see that the tunnel was much more restricted than the SR intake. Why not go all the way with SR manifold base and say AFR aluminum heads.

 

i've always like the setup of the holley stealth ram better, i like the tunnel ram style, i can get the setup for about 550 new which is a great deal. thanks guys!

 

I got a stealth ram and some afr's under my bed. I'll let you know what I think of it soon.

 

I think the Holly is a little new. Wait for some more feedback before you buy it.

 

I wish Santa would leave some AFR heads and Stealth Ram under my bed!!!

 

Me too LOL. They were damn $$$

 

SR is EGR compliant and is compatible with EGR items. Unless its changed, HSR does not include EGR provisions.

Believe it or not, here in my part of Texas, they do actually look for and verify funtion of the emissions equipment during the annual emissions tests. Just my .02, but knowing two folks that have been pulled over by troopers and had their vehicles impounded for "having tampered with Federal emissions equipment" in the last two years, you need to determine if Emissions legality is an issue for your area.

 

i dont have to worry about emissions here in florida... but which would you say is better than the other? the HSR, or the SR?

 

the SR still deals with stock type design runners. just made somewhat larger and half length and uses the same stock design base just with larger diameter runners again. the HSR is a tunnelram. about half the total runner length.

go here for flow and runner length comparison. most answers are here. i'm working on getting all the answers.

tru, thanks man! PM me if you get any other info... i wanna replace the stock TPI on a 350 5.7 when i can, but im just not sure which one to go with

 

well if emissions is ever a concern, go with the SR. if it's not, then the HSR is the way to go. overall cost will be about the same or more for a SR. but the HSR will do better.
