Default Re: BB Tunnel Ram Setup

I haven't seen too many vintage TR for oval port heads. Do you have a line on one? You can open the area up pretty well so the transition form a TR square port isn't too badly interupted with the smaller oval port. I like the TR with the old breadbox plenums. They look really cool on a Nova!

From very early on, I've run 2 Holley's and a X-ram on my 65 daily driven everywhere. Highway or around town with 4.88's I get 12 mpg. If you want to run dual-quads- then do it. With a good tune (and there are some tricks to do) you'll be happy with the way it drives. Heck I didn't know that mutch at 16 and I did it. Sure it can always be optimized some more, but I would rather see Benjamin driving the car with what you have, than waiting for the day you find the ideal parts.

As for the mild cam, I don't see it hurting anything. What gear do you plan to run?
