Supperram users

Anyone ?

I reading more about the stealthram but was originally leaning toward Superram.

I'll be running a ZZ-9 cam with AFR190s, trying to figure the best intake to match up (motor just a rebuild 350-->355) like the torque the Superram was making and it was keeping up with the HP numbers as well from teh tests that I've read through.

I would suspect the SR is better for low down whereas the HSR is better if you plan to get the engine to arond 6500

aklim pretty much said it. If you need to be emissions legal, the SR is your only choice between those two. Needless to say, I'm going Superram

2 places to read up on the 2 manifolds:

http://stealthram.com/flowcomparison.html

http://stealthram.com/intakecompare.html
there is a dyno here comparing the LT1 intake vs SR

for the cost you, you can't beat the HSR over the SR.

Well heres the deal.

I bought a IROC that the previous owner had already installed the base intake manifold ($460) on the car. I can get the Superram with rails for $600 so that would just be my cost. I've seen the flow charts and hp comparisons.
I agree with the down low vs up top statement. I think we all loved the torque of our stock intake...of course I want to keep that and gain hp...go figure right

I'm leaning Superram b/c of my bottom line cost and it flows almost as well up top. Plus if I'm able to supercharge it later I think it will work out well...

The superram uses the stock fuel rails.

It is the best compromise for street/track.

I can buy that. I am using the SR kit and if you put the stock intake runners on it you will hurt for air. Put a set of stock gaskets on the manifold and you will see how much larger the runner area is.
