Default Re: BBC Tarantula manifold vs weiand tunnel ram ?

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: ss427copo</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Vinnie,
I've had the Tarantula on my Booth-Aron L72 with an L88 attitude since I bought it in '84. After having some cylinder head massaging and porting, it it a killer on the car with 13.5:1. I run the new Holley 850 with 4 idle circuits. I've never had it stop pulling, even at 6800 w/88 gears and a T400.

YES it would still be &quot;pulling&quot;! That BBc with those spec and gearing will &quot;pull&quot;. BUT I think his question was/is &quot;would it pull HARDER&quot; with the tunnelram.

Little food-for-thought from BIG Joe Sherman:
&quot;To the O P --- Know this, a tunnel ram is only better than a good single four barrel ABOVE 6000 RPM--- below that , the single four will be better-- You are all mixed up with your thinking
