which manifold to use
Whats going on everybody...long time no type....anyway i have a question. I am in the process of re-building my motor to accomodate a 9psi Vortech supercharger. Now i already have a camshaft (lingenfelter #74220) and I have also purchased a set of AFR heads (got a good deal on a slightly used pair). Now the bottom end is buttoned up, but now I am curious which manifold should I go with??..I have been told that the Superam will give me gobs of torque, and will push my motor to about 6300rpms..but with a Mini-ram i was told that my motor would blast past 7000rpm...and give like 80+hp??....but I also have to spend 600 bux for the level 6 chip. is it worth it??..thanks in advance for your help.

You don't need to run TPIS chip but you will need a custom prom. I like the MR b/c its easier to work on. I'm going w/ an LT1 b/c I don't have the money for a 6spd and a MR.

I was under the impression that the Mini Ram and the Super Ram had basically the same power advantages.........BUT if I could do it over again I would have went with the Mini Ram due to the ease factor............the Super Ram is a big pain in the Ying Yang..........and that's no joke........I would go with the Mini Ram. Just my opinion.
