These seem to be very popular right now. You can buy them from several different places. Summit Racing, Symbol Performance and Paradise Road just to name a few.

Symbol Performance makes their own manifolds and they claim they are made in the US. The ones you can buy through Summit Racing are from Granatelli Motorsports.

Here are a few links which include where you can buy, someone who actually has one a 1969 camaro which is currently for sale for 105k, and dyno tests conducted buy Hot Rod Magazine. All the info you need to make an informed decision before you buy.

You can look at my build thread below or my car that is listed on here to see that intake,It does work well on mine but I am not racing it,I would not recommend using any turbo or any kind of boost on them,they are very nice for the money but for all out performance I am not sure.http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa339/tubbed69/image.jpg3_zpst05yhuvm.jpg (http://s1192.photobucket.com/user/tubbed69/media/image.jpg3_zpst05yhuvm.jpg.html)

They look good but you lose low end power big time. They don't start coming in til almost 5500 rpm. In fact they've been referred to as Turkeys by reputable LS builder Tom Nelson.

You can buy them for under 500 with fuel rails.

I saw a video of one online that the whole top would flex when the car was revved and that was on a naturally aspirated setup. That was enough to change my mind on them.

I bought one just to look at. May use it on a car, but will never promote or advertise availability because I am not a fan of knock off products, even if I can make money on it. There are a couple other manufacturers making direct knock offs as well we occasionally buy from (won't mention names), and I won't sell those knock offs either.

Thanks guys!!!!


Yeah, i had read about the flexibility issue. What i read was force induction related and one of the ebay ads was specifiying that they had a new and improved (said to be 3 mm thick now?) and that it would not have that problem anymore...... Thats what got me wondering overall, as i love the Holley Hi Ram and it was my first choice, then i saw this one, but got to wonder.


Naaaaa..... Not worth the hassle. I'll go with my first idea!! Especially since im on boost. No sense in doing it twice when your trying to stay on budget!

Thanks for the usual GREAT comments and help!

High Ram Holley will not fit under hood.

I went with a Mid Rise and am happy with it. Fits under my SS hood with Speedtech subframe

Height is of no concern. Its going into the race car. It has a 4 inch cowl that should fit, if not, ill go 6.... Lol!!

The "stock" Camaro is staying "stock".... The other one is getting the whole treatment!

Thanks guy's,

Oh,

I see i need to update my sig,

Beeing faithfull to myself, i ended up selling the '67 roller and picked up an ols race car of a '69. The car had been in storage for over 15 years when i took it out of its hiding place a few weeks ago. :-)

Its a tubbed out ride, done old school, but a very nice and SOLID car. The body is extremely solid. The rockers are asking new solid, car is all steel xcept hood and deck lid. Doors and fr fenders are orig. MINT GM oem and get this... Same thing for the 1/4 panel's!!! I spent a lot of time loking for a cut line when we were loking at it before the buy as i could not beleive it still had the orig 1/4's on lol!!! Yep! They are!! They just did a poor stretch job and i got a set of skins to remedy that. I'll metal finish em so it dont look like it was ever played on. It deserve's it!

Anyway, plans are a 6.0, s475,400, it has a narrowed 12 bolt qnd ladder bar's on for now,but not sure if im not gonna 9 inch it. (And either 4 link or leaf it).

i already have the 6.0 and the 400, shopping for a snail and ordring ebay turbo headers. Its a budget build (like if that really exists!) and having been a Camaro nut all my life, i have A LOT of stuff for it. Like the hood, it was off my Monster black 'vert i built on here, i have a brand new set of calvert split leaf set up and caltracs, (why im leaning to re-small tire it) i have a set of glass frt fenders. I just dont know if im going to remove the whole back half yet, and if i do, im not sure if id go back to such a set up.... Or just rebuild it as a stock-ish floor (still tubbed) and a small tire car. Which i came to favor over the d14x32 style that it is presently. Lol!!! I alway wanted a full on, tubbed out, crazy pro street car, and now that i have put my hands on one, the hot ticket has become the small tire cars!!!!!

That just my luck,

Oh well. It need's a floor anyway (what was lef of the previous original "born with" floor was removed by the guy i got it from when he lwas going to do re- do it) so i'll have to make a decision...... Soon.
