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.

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

1 - the super ram will wake the motor up. big time.

2. LT headers rock. Add some bullet cats, an x-pipe and duals.

3. heads? this is a loaded debate. Edelbrocks are nice... very nice... AFR will make more power, but have had questionable QC of late. Dart is nice...

4. cam... I would check Crane and Comp... see what they recommend for street usage. Also, don't get a cheapy, the more you spend, the better the quality.

5. Griffin and Becool are good units.

6. can't help you on torque converters.

7. the current transmission is a bomb waiting to go off. 700R4s are junk.

8. 3.07 gears will fit, hell, you can go to 3.73 in a D36, but I would save up for 3.45 gears - in a dana 44. The D36 is just not that strong, and I would save any money on new gears and put it toward the D44.

9. bigger wheels and brakes are good.

The rest of the questions:

Superram will keep EGR. Air pump does nothing. If you can get rid, do so.

You will need a tune... 24# injectors and an AFPR will be good tuning tools.

The IAC and TPS will work on the new TB.

I would NOT go to Jesse for a tune. You need to find a good shop that will dyno tune it.

Where do you live? What are the emissions tests like?

go stand alone computer first this will allow for future mods. if you go accel they have plug and play. superram is a pain but worth it. edelbrock heads will allow for egr. 87 up 700r4 is NOT junk. 1800 to 2500 stall converter depending on gear, cam, tire size, weight. afpr is a terrible way to tune but helpfull. can stay green. cold start will not be needed. do not mix intake parts stick with one company if you can. 24# is kinda small but would not go over 30# in your case. and innovate wide band for tune then stock narrow for rest of time. lingenfelter has matched cams for the sr. for you, avoid long tube headers with cats. there is also interface wiring to keep the stock computer with the accel gen 7.
