    Ive ran an edelbrock TRI Y on a street strip vega, I still have the intake. It was horrible on the street but a real kiier on the strip. You lose alot of your bottom end torque with a tunnel ram, but gain big power at high RPM's. Your 283's would wind up with a tunnel ram. You have to figure every pro stock drag car made for years and years have ran and still run tunnel rams.


    Live everyday like it were your last, someday it will be.

    That is very true, but when was the last time you saw a Pro Stock drag car cruise down main street from stop light to stop light? In my opinion, a wrong choice for a street driven car.
