Re: Tunnel Ram setup for the street
I would call a reputable cam manufacturer, give them some parameters like what trans, gear ratio, tires, purpose (street)weight etc... and they should give you an idea of what cam to run. Study the grind specs and then you can go with what they recommend or find similar grinds that fall under the same category recommended. Yes, keeping up velocities is important, but the T-ram was made for RPMs, the opposite of low RPM cruising, that is why the old school intakes are better for a street set up with smaller runners. The 600s will hurt a little on low end, but with jetting and perhaps a larger Accelerator pump9s) to overcome the lag off idle you will find it is not that hard to make the set up work. I would run carbs out of the box (stock) and experiment from there giving you a baseline for performance and noting what improves streetability as you try mods. along with acc. pumps there are several different shooters (discharge nozzles) that give more fuel shot. Of course, fine adjustment of acc. pumps that start just off idle is critical to keep from a lean condition.
