[gassersrule_196]

what were your expieriences with them? did you find any differences in brands? weiand, edelbrock ,offy?

[pat mccarthy]

yes weiands and if you look at my photos you can see me making a sheet metal one

[jerry clayton]

With tunnel rams there are differances in everything---volume, length, cross section,entry angles, port match, pleum volume,etc.etc.etc.etc

[pat mccarthy]

yes that would be true

[gassersrule_196]

just a plain jane off the shelf weiand or edelbrock is what i was refering to ive seen them sheetmetal ones WOW! nice work pat.

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.

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.

as to what ? they make more power? i do not use to many out of box cams ? they are best for custom cams or off the shelf grinds ??? i had good running engines using many howards .crower.isky. ersons .lunati .and other i look at numbers and if they can grind what i want . every one has a sweet heart cam grinder . i like not waiting on the line for a hour like COMP and then taking to a guy that knows less about cams then i do
