BBK turtle ram
I was thinking this inatke was dead, but yesterday I was at NAPA looking through their performance book and just so happened to see they're advertising this intake for sale with a part number and everything. I still don't think it's true just seeing if anyone else has saw this before.

Re: BBK turtle ram
More like a reduced-plenum SuperRam. Actually a good idea. And they're listing improvements of 50 HP @ 5100 RPM. Who started calling it a Turtle? It fits, considering how slow it is, trying to get to market. If it ever arrives, I'd try it on a 327.

Re: BBK turtle ram
Forget about this. Not worth it, you'll be bucks ahead to look at a mini ram or a single plane conversion. There was a reason it was left on the cutting room floor, because no one would buy it for what they wanted to charge really. In general unless you run a TPI, doing anything with the TPI its self (in this case it uses a TPI style base) is not really worth it. For the price of a set of AS&M runners and the rest of the aftermarket TPI stuff you can have a decent intake setup if you do it right.

Re: BBK turtle ram
They're (napa) saying the part number is BBK-5014 and yes the book is their 2012 performance book and teyre seeing if they can get a price for me. I had called BBK sometime last year and they said no deal, not tryin to beat a dead horse just saw this in the catalog with a part number and had me wondering

Re: BBK turtle ram
Not trying to bring a dead topic back again, I wont be using it i've got 90% of my single plane parts so I'm going that route but if the mods want the thread locked it's fine with me, I just saw the intake in the book and it had me curious.

Re: BBK turtle ram
They (tpi design) are all fashioned after the 69Z28 crossram intake except they made it too small and it runs out of air. The crossram worked very well for Penske and the other chevy teams but they only had 302 inches to feed.

Re: BBK turtle ram
Did it have an E.O. number (and EGR obviously)?
Are there any out there in the real world?
Here's a mention by ttop350: https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/post...792-post6.html
