Yes, the 30 inch long ram tubes.


There are 2 versions of that setup. Long and short ram. Both 30" but the runner divider on the long ram runs the full length of the runner and the short one doesn't.

The short one doesn't run out of breath as quick as the long one does but is extremely rare compared to the long ones.

This would also factor into your cam selection.

As I stated, I have the 30" long runners. Not the "short" versions of the long rams. I am using the more common 30" full divided ram tubes, which are designed for lower rpm.
