An engine like that will probably benefit from a spacer underneath the manifold top to increase plenum volume.

What I have found with both intakes on my engine is they both like shear plates.

We had a hand-me-down sheetmetal tunnel ram on the Grocery Getter and it was notorious for stalling at the end of a big burnout. It had a pretty big plenum.
We switched to the Gutsram and problem solved. So I guess my general thought is to use spacers or something like that (not permanent) so you can try different plenum volumes till it's optimized. FWIW, Eric

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
