I was looking at going Superram but was afraid it wouldn't work well enough at 6200 rpms on a 383 with decent cam (although I was running a 350 at the time I had future 383 plans). Also got scared away by the removal/install time and headaches. I then was looking at going Miniram but was told that they have problems with some cylinders going lean on nitrous use (still have no idea if that is true or not) and was afraid that 6200 rpms wouldn't be enough to see the true benefit of the Miniram. I then decided to go between the 2 and get a Holley Stealth Ram. I love it. Great street torque, great at the track with the rpms and cubes that suit me. I hear that USM (or something like that) is making HSR intakes to fit under the 'vette hood now. I had to go with a custom plenum. The HSR might be worth you looking into, it is easy as pie to install and it works great. I also like that you can install the base, then shine a light down the runners and see how well it matches up to the heads. Then you can slide it back and forth just a hair before tightening or you can remove it and port match it. When all is good just 4 bolts puts the plenum on.


I like the HSR, and I actually had one on top of my motor that had the converted sheet metal plenum to fit under the C4 hood. I was going to do an A-B-A test against the Superram with it..... but the HSR that was loaned to me for the test wouldn't seal no matter what I did.... within 10 minutes of driving, I'd be the proud owner of a crankcase sized vanilla milkshake. So, I took it off....

I didn't know at that time, but the first units done by Holley were for the 20 degree Holley cylinder head they made for a while....I'm thinking that was one of them, but not sure.

But anyway, I did have a chance to drive it around the block a few times before I realized it wasn't sealing and I gotta say, the HSR really felt freakn great, my thinking at the time was that it was going to et well. But unfortunately, never found out.
