I will answer my own question. Go to this link as it answers a lot of my questions:http://temp.corvetteforum.net/c4/vader86/superram.html

I have been slogging through posts on other forums about this product. Very confused.
First, here is what I have: 87 vert auto with standard rear end (2.59:1) and auto tranny. Stock brakes. 45,000 mile engine that starts and runs fine. No problems with the car. I have also installed a hard top for the cooler weather.
The car is paid for. I can either sell it and buy a C4 that has more power (LT4) or mod this one and keep it.
Goals are more power (hey that's a new one!). I want more power for bragging rights, street performance and 1 day at the drags just to see what she will do. I also want to be able to drive on long trips once a year or so. I also want folks to be impressed more when I open the clamshell.
Current mods that will stay with the car are high flow Magnaflow cat, rear H pipe and Magnaflow mufflers. I have new Taylor 8mm wires and a DUI coil. I also have a K&N air filter and a FUEL INJECTION emblem from a 57 Corvette bolted to my air cleaner housing (gotta be worth 5 HP!).
Proposed mods: Here is where I need someone with honesty and guts to step in and say "No way - this will not work and will cost you driveability and performance".
1. Accel Super Ram. 2. Long tube headers. Thinking TPIS here as it comes with a front Y that will bolt up to my converter. 3. Edelbrock aluminum heads that are made for the L98. Should I use fast burn? Cam: what is recommended? 4. New GM or aftermarket water pump. Recommendations?5. Aftermarket radiator. Reccomendations? 6: Aftermarket torque converter (on the mild side). Recommendations? 7. My current tranny is strong and I am only thinking of changing to synthetic fluid for now. 8: 3.07 rear gears and synthetic lube with 2 bottles of posi fluid. My question on this is will these gears fit in my D36? I plan to run the D36 as long as she will last. 9: A set of 17" wheels so I can upgrade to larger front brakes. I will not be autocrossing but just want to be safe with the extra power and all. I have also read pros and cons about going with stainless steel braided hoses. My street driving style seems to dictate new OEM rubber hoses. Any thoughts?
The big question is the Super Ram. I see prices in the $900 range and in the $3,300 range. It appears that the lower price is just for the plenum, runners, intake manifold and fasteners. I don't need the computer or fuel pump that comes with some kits. Here is what else I think I will need (please correct me if am wrong). Injectors: I am thinking about 24# units but what brand? Will my existing harness hook up to them? Throttle body: 52mm BBK. Adjustable fuel pressure regulator along with a guage so I can see what I have. Will my existing IAC work with this unit? What do I do with the other existing electronic sensors? Are they compatable with the Super Ram? I want to run "graen" and keep my AIR system, EGR system and Cat converter. Will I be able to do this with the Super Ram. What do I do with my cold start injector? Is there a place for it on the Super Ram?
Lastly I hear that it is a bitch to install the runners onto the manifold and to the plenum as there is no room to work. After reading some posts by others who have done this I think I can do it. I have the patience and the get r dun mentality to figure things out along with my own garage and plenty of tools. I can always buy more tools too if anything specialized is needed. I will also need a custom chip. Go to Jesse for this?
One concern is that I have never really messed around with the electronic fuel injection system. I have pulled and rebuilt/hopped up a previous carbed Corvette engine and it turned out strong and reliable. I am not afraid to dive in and start getting it done either. It is important to me to say that I did it on my own. I know my limitations also. I would never dare take apart a tranny and rebuild it!
OK Gurus. Do your stuff. Helping me learn and avoid mistakes will help many others down the road.
I am not out to run on the ragged edge so please don't suggest things like Nitrous, 4:10 gears or turbos.

My 87 has a rocker switch under the headlight knob. If you flip the rocker switch on then the fog lights come on with the parking lights or the low beams. When you turn on the bright headlights the driving lights go out.
I am not sure if your 84 has this option or not.

Gordon Killebrew did this on my 87 to switch the glass from my garage sproinged mirror to my replacement mirror housing: He placed his thumb and fingers around the edges of the glass and just pulled it toward him. It took some effort but just popped right off!. After he had installed the new housing in my door and hooked up the wires he pushed the mirror back onto its trunion until it shattered - yes he broke it!! I was at Bloomington at the time so found a replacement and he snapped that one in with no problem (whew). So I would advise gentle pressure when doing this. I'll bet you will find a broken plastic part rattling around inside. I like to use Jason at www.vette2vette.com for replacement parts if you need them.
Keep us posted.

I needs edjimication. Currently own a stock 87 with auto. Only mods are K&N, DUI coil, Taylor wires, Bosch +4s, catless front Y, Hi-flow cat, H pipe on rear Y and Magnaflows.
Car runs strong but have never raced it. It is paid for so if I decide to keep it I would like to be able to keep up with the C5s and am not afraid to spend some money on her.
From my readings I will probably go with a lower rear gear, better torque converter, cam, long tubes, aftermarket (Edelbrock?) heads.
What do I do about the TPI? Port it along with the runners and base and a larger throttle body? Go with a Super or Mini Ram?
Any info on the aftermarket injection system would be appreciated. How much do they cost and where to get them? :?
