As a side note, if I were you I'm not sure I'd stay with the superram with those heads and big cubes. It will run good but I think much more can be had with a miniram or LT1 conversion intake. With your cubes you will have PLENTY of low end grunt running a mini and a decent cam and those heads. I love my HSR and it would be good on there too but I honestly think the mini would be best for you now and definitely simpler. You could sell the superram for probably enough money to buy a miniram, and it would be so much easier to install and all. Food for thought.
I don't disagree, however, I expect to do most of my running between 2000-5500 RPMs. This is a STREET CAR first and foremost.
Roller lifters are only good to about 6500 RPMs TOPS.
The SR should run out of breath around 5500, which, is OK by me if the bottom stays insane.
What I am doing is picking a cam, leaning 230/230 112* maybe 114* which will work with the SR, but also go with a MR should I decide to change it out in the future.
I like the characteristics of the TPI system. I understand at the very top I'm sacrificing something, but not enough to matter, and I can swap out an intake on this car in no time, if I ever want to.
The way I'll be driving it 99% of the time, the SR should work well. If it doesn't, I'll make the appropriate changes.
