				Thought I'd throw up a little intro post.  I'm Greg, from Wisconsin.  I picked up a '90 camaro a couple months ago, its currently in about as many pieces as it can be in my garage (a hollow shell with doors attached right now!), putting it together to be a weekend toy/track day car.  I've been road racing motorcycles for the past couple years, last year burned me out a little bit chasing points and only going to 4 different tracks all season.  This year I'm just doing a couple of those races for fun and hopefully some track days in the car too just for some variety. I want to have the car done before the end of june, so that should give me time to get to a couple events this year at least! Maybe I'll see some of you at events in the midwest. Here's the only picture I've taken of the car so far from a couple weeks ago. Pardon the crappy cell phone picture quality..

				Too bad Minirams are still so outrageously expensive.

The test I saw showed the mini ram was up 5 hp on a 500 hp engine (mini ram=505, stealthram=500), but down 20-30 ft lbs over the stealth ram. For that price difference and more torque, I'll stay with the stealth ram (which is the decision process that put one on my car when Mike, the previous owner, was looking for an intake upgrade). Either is a good choice, but bang for the buck... I put a glass hood on for clearance and weight reduction (I'm also shooting for AI). |
