Well, I've always had an intake manifold fetish so I've always had an interest in trying a "Smokey Ram". I read an pretty interesting story a couple of months back specifically about the development of this intake between Vic Edelbrock Jr. and Smokey. I'll try to dig it up. Basically they are long, straight, runner'ed tunnel rams that are flattened out for hood clearance. They say when you get one dialed in, they have incredible mid-range pull. Oh yeah one more thing......don't pump the gas pedal 'til you actually have the motor spinning over. That giant plenum and the possibility of fual-puddling can make for an intake explosion.
