Has anyone already bolted one up? I mean for 300 dollars it looks like a really good deal. I was prepping up an LT1 intake but still need to get the fuel lines, remote thermo, brackets, and other stuff----which equals up to a good amount of $. I was thinking of just spending the 300 dollars and getting it through mail order. If anyone has already dropped it in and can give me some feedback on it, I'd appreciate it.

It should explain a good bit to you. It did for me.

JD13,

I am talking about the new STEALTHRAM, not the SUPERRAM. If anyone has info on it, let me know. Easy to get confused with both rams.

If you like your torque, keep the TPI or LT1 intake. If you want it to start pulling at around 3000 and start screaming at 5000 then the stealth Ram is for you. I have one, you can see pictures in my sig. And you aren't gonna get it for $300 unless you found a source. They are $500 at last time I bought one a few months back. They are really easy to install and can be done in a relatively short amount of time.

But, if you like torque, and you don't have a 383 or a big block under it, Don't expect it to feel like your TPI setup. The power is on opposite ends of the RPM band.

RedIroc,

Got your info. Sent you a PM. I also got some valuable info in GM High Tech performance on the Stealthram.

You have to fab up your own fuel lines. I made up some -6 using Earls fittings and Aeroquip braided fuel line. It cost me $120.

Stock hood of an Iroc, you're all set. No modifications needed.

It really is a drop in and go install. The only thing that I had to modify was making a sensor plug extension. Other than that you'll need a new gooseneck and some vacuum fittings as well as some threaded plugs to plug up the extra holes in the base and plenum.

Again, I'll tell ya this, if you like low end grunt, this isn't for you. To be quite honest I wish I had gone with somthing else. But I DO like the upper end pull. Feels like an LS1.


Your PM box is full.

I am looking into burying the needle up in the high RPM's. I tried to get your PM but even though my mailbox is empty, I can't recieve any. I'm sure you emailed me the same info you posted if not email me to pablo.ledezma@lmco.com

RedIrocZ-28

Whaddya mean by burying the needle?

Oops lol! Sorry about that.

Other than what's said, I don't have much additional info on them.

I found this website in one of my many browsings of the web for TPI information, especially when the StealthRam came out. The info is great and really shows the differences in hp/trq numbers throughout the rev-range for each of the two combinations. Like many others have said...if you want a high-revver and don't mind sacrificing the low-end, StealthRam is the way to go. If you want the monsterous low-end, stick to the stock-type TPI intake.

Anyways...here is the website:

This is very good info. I hope you get your hands on a Camaro soon. Thanks

Check out the July issue of GM High Tech Performance, their stealthrammed IROC made 396 ft-lb of torque at 2850RPM at the wheels. It was a 350 with box TFS G1 heads and a 218/228 cam. Anyone have the earlier issue to see how much and where the torque of the LTR setup was? But for a stock motor, the LTR is a setup.

atlasengr...No problem, I love helping out when I can, even though I have no experience! haha I hope to get my IROC as soon as my mom says its OK. Want to sell me one of your 1990 IROCs??? Also, the article that PLANT mentioned is a great one. I have read it a few times and it does a good job describing installation/gains of the HSR. Here is part 2 of the article (couldn't find part 1, sorry):

That GMHTP story is pretty good. Very well done with a lot of work put into it. It also pretty much says the same thing Red IROCZ has said about his SR install: the TPI carries the day in both HP and TRQ until about 4600 RPM. At that point, the SR comes into its own.

My guess is on a 383 the SR would be the ticket, but on a 350, maybe bigger runners and ported base and plenum would be the answer. Heck they pulled off a near 110 MPH trap speed with the ported stock base/plenum, and SLP runners. Part of the reason they show a gain with the SR is because the long runner intake blew the tires off so hard which you can readily see by the 60 ft.'s they show in the article.

I dunno man....on the street torque is a wonderful thing. The trade off to get that high winding RPM? Not sure I would do it. But for the drag racer, it could be a good way to get some RPM for a reasonable cost.
