TUNNEL RAM NEW VS OLD
« on: December 17, 2009, 10:00:07 AM »
I was wondering if you chebby guys could help me with this.  I have a older edelbrock intake manifold on my boat. Here is a pic of it.  I have a victor tunnel ram I got from a friend and before I go and have it polished then chromed I was wondering if you guys thought it would be worth it? I believe the old one is a ur -33 my dad put in on the boat back in 79 on a motor he had banks build back in the day. the boat has out of the box merlin heads with mainly just a good valvejob.

I think your boat looks nice the way it is. You'd never notice any changes on your application. So just box up that new TR and mail it too.................Does it take Dominators?

Its supposed to work with the msd dist I have I hope.  But if its not going to make a performace difference then Im not gong to screw with it, I just was told that these older intakes were not good for bigger motors and higher rpm?  The ports on this start out good size than shrink down as they get closer to the intake port on the head. i can see how that would be great for low rpm but not for higher rpm. :banghead:

We run an old style Weiand tunnel ram on our race boat, but it has also been ported to match our large heads. We hit 6,500 rpm's easy.

He says hi, and yes he had a few stories to tell as well.  My favorite was the one about the corvett and your little incedent going through desert center.  You probably know the kirkeys and Steve Beck then too?
