Default Pic of my new intake setup

Just got my engine back together, again.

I decided to give the "Gutsram" a try.
This intake needed lots of attention to make it fit.
I also had a custom top made, the carbs sit at an angle so that the throttle bores line up with the port runners.
This top is about half the weight of the stock cast top as it was cnc'd out of a piece of 6061 billet aluminium.

If there is anyone that has used one of these that has any tuning information to share it would be appreciated (including the N2O fogger).



I was also able to install my new timing chain set, with the torrington thrust bearing, that I got from Scott Simms of "Simms Performance".
I must say that this is a quality piece and the directions that are supplied with it are clear and precise. Thanks Scott!


Hopefully I will get the time to get this setup dailed in soon.

Wink Hey Ron!

Hi Ron,

Yes, it is I.


With the new board my screen name now shows up as my login/user ID.
I don't mind it so much, it will just take some getting used to.

60's man. The Gutsram is pretty tall and has large ports. It may stick the carbs thru your hood. I ran one for a while with both 750 AFB's and BG Demons but went back to my Bathtub intake because it made the same HP and was shorter and lighter.I tried 3 sets of Holley/ BG carbs and ran as fast or faster with my AFB's. The Bathtub with AFB's was 22 lbs lighter thsn the Gutsram with BG Demons.
I think what you need is a roller cam with about 276-280 duration and .650-.700 lift.
