always get adjustable if buying a replacement makes tuning that much easier

imported_Kyle

Do you think that would cause any problems with the cars computer?

archemedes

nope it will adapt the odb1 doesn't care about pressure just final a/f ratio which is supposed to get as close to perfect as possible which works both modified and stock

Alright, Thanks for all your help. I think i have finally decided to buy the Holley Stealth Ram. I am having it professional installed and the engine tuned up for it so i don't have to worry about doing something wrong. I think i am going to hold off on the rear end for a few until i can save up for the extra money. Ill DEFINETLY take pictures for everyone too see. Man, i cant wait, heh...

archemedes

I see people do a rear gear change first thing and all it does is make the car less drivable, the next thing I would recomment would be some head work (may be worth doing while the intake is off)

imported_Kyle

I really dont want to mess with heads. Heads are way to expensive in my opinion and i dont want to do to much to the engine. Why do you say it makes the car less drivable? You have to remember, this isn't my everyday driver. (anymore)

archemedes

basically the gears make the engine rev different sometimes it moves it more into the powerband but usually it just raises it to where you use more gas, everything needs to match, you don't have to replace the heads just have a good 7 angle valve job and some bowl blending it will make a world of difference in throttle response

the steath ram is what im going to put on my car later, its the best intake for the money if your going to go FI

Here's an update on what is going on. I ordered the Holley Stealth Ram Intake on Thursday. It should be hear Monday. I am having it professional installed on Wednesday. He said he wants to keep it for 2 days just to make sure he is hurried on it and nothing goes wrong. I will have pics Thursday or Friday!

archemedes

I'd like 2 days when doing something like that too keeps there from being call backs and free work

imported_Kyle

I just received the package about 40 minutes ago! I opened it up and now i can't wait to get it installed! I will have pictures Thursday and more information on how it goes!

archemedes

feel giddy eh

Ok, here is an update. As i figured the mechanic ran into some problems. Such as needing a new distributor cap and some parts that summit didnt bother telling me that i needed. He has gotten as far as getting the fuel rails and fuel lines ran. We ran into a problem today (which i knew we would), and the problem is the stock fuel lines will not reach to the back of the intake. So i am going to have to wait and get new fuel lines made, etc, etc... He said it should be done by Monday. This mechanic is VERY smart and has been one of my dads friends for awhile and i know he knows what he is doing. He told me when its all done and over with i will be happy that it took this long. He said he wants to do it right, and to get everything perfect, it takes time. It is going to end up costing me about $600 for installation, including labor. But today he told me after its all done he will probably end of giving us a discount. (Thank god) I finally got to see it on the car for the first time and man does it look sweet. I will keep everyone update (who cares). peace..

custom stuff always hits snags, you should be happy
