Default Re: Tunnel Ram setup for the street

From experience....I like and I recommend the Edelbrock TR1X. It is vintage correct=important. It has smaller and longer runners=important to working on a street ride. 3rd, it is the most common=affordable and easy to find (somewhat). Good luck. advice on carbs would be the same=smaller the better, but knowing the cost and availability, I have run 1850 Holleys (600cfm) and they worked well. With that light a car, I think this will be OK...it is not as if you are racing, you just are into the "eye-candy" and the jaw dropping effect of seeing a Vega with a ram? I assume. 64cc Castings with a 350 are always a good choice of old school iron. Flat tops would be a plus and a cam with a lobe centerline of 112 or 110 and around .480-.520 lift Hydr. or solid. ( I am living in the past on cams though and really cannot recommend a grind, but know a roller is preffered if bucks hold out).
