Super clean ZL1. Nice set up

Dang, I didnt know that when I installed all that...

ETA: I checked and they only lower it by 1/4" and I don't think that is enough to save the wiper.

That is the low ram version? How do you like it since it is rated only rated to 6400 rpm? Did u get their 102 tb also?
Also......ur setup is awesome looking!

Holley Sniper is a large ( ish ) plenum short runner "sheet metal" intake. It would never fall into the category of a low rpm intake.

I have both BMR engine mounts and Holley hi rise. I had to get rid of passenger wiper anyway

We mostly run carb style with 90. Sprays the meth pretty even. Have done the Holley midrise by lowering front frame 1/2" and cutting motor mounts 1/2". Fits under hood,cowl. We don't run the FAST on any build.

What kind of quarter mile times you getting with that setup?....

Just saying lower RPM compared to the hi ram design.

if anything, I'd say the opposite.

The HiRam would probably perform better over a wider range than the sniper, simply as the HiRam has longer runners. Although they're still not long overall.

But both will definitely favour higher rpm usage.

The above comments are true but a bit less important once into boost. Ana makes a huge difference.

True, but the characteristics will still be similar.

If it gains n/a, it will gain with boost.

Although yes if it was poor n/a...boost could make up for a lot of that loss.

It would be nice if someone did some proper back to back tests on a boosted setup with a few intakes. Unlikely it'll happen, as such tests n/a seem very hard to come by !

The only good n/a I seen was that cathedral intake test that appeared some months ago where they tested 20 intakes back to back.

g8lover · 03-11-2017, 08:28 PM

yea a back to back boosted test would be great!.... seems there is a big gap for intakes... the nicer ones move the power way up to 7000-8000.... ie.. high ram..... so what is the best for a car that limits at 7000....

i may end up staying with lsxr since i have it already and has proved pretty good for hp and also track times... doing pretty good for being a 4450 race weight and will be hitting 8.9 most likely this spring... just would like more pc of mind...
