Makes an EVEN BETTER sound opening up thru the gears!! Even better when the doors slap shut...Huh???

So a T quad closes between shifts?....instead of how nice they sound running, or letting off with the doors slapping shut, how about a pic with sound=vid??? vs a pic with comments???




Try one on your motor and have firsthand witness!!
No YouTube or magazine link. You will
feel what it does and how well it runs!!

That's an old picture from under the hood of my wreck. Since that was taken I now have 2 140gph pumps, 1/2" fuel line all the way to the regulator, very large inline filter. The carbs will flow 900cfm+ each. The whole shoot'n match will be going on my dyno this winter for some tweaking.
It really runs nice on the street with this setup. Acceptable mileage and enough power to smoke the tires at 60-70 mph. Dave




Good setup Dave. Love the multiple carbs, even
better since they aren't Holleys. Definitely
something different!!

What would be more advantageous on a hi-riser (tunnel ram) two TQ's, two 660's or a FLOWED
six pack setup (old weiand or EDDY str hi-rise)?
We are talking hi-end bracket motors, small OR big
block (12.0-hi 10's).

Let see what will come back out? We will take the 3 holley two barrels a qj into a bucket of carb cleaner. We will keep them in there for a day or so. Then we will put them back on and start them up. Then we will see who has a carb. I love my 3 holleys on my 525hp 440 auto in my 1972 Cuda.

QJ? Mopar engine?
3 Holleys (six pack)? Mopar engine?
TQ? Mopar engine?

scott, are you thinking of using adapter plates, or hogging out the manifold plenums to run the thermoquads ?

SHORT rams ? ... .... show me some LONGer ones than that !!

And BTW ... I worked at a shop that had some trick salvage Mopar parts before I went into the service .....

They used those intakes to hold TARPS down on the outside !! They probably had THREE HUNDRED of those

Shortest that is unless you count aftermarket and small blocks

Doc the runner lengths are the same but the DIVIDING WALL between them only goes about halfway down on the Short Rams, so, short wall = "Short Ram" full length (long) dividing wall = "Long Ram".

The shorter dividing wall effectively moves the peak torque about 1,000 rpms upward. Niether intake is a drag strip terror, but no slouch either with the right combo, real torque monsters even stock.

Stock Long Ram peak torque is at 2,800 rpm, the stock Short Ram is 3,800 rpm.

Of course if you want to have the king of all "Packs" you'll need a Navarro "Sixteen Pack"

Navarro Quad Quad Cross Ram for your viewing pleasure

Doc, I do remember the LONG Ram was measured at
nearly 21" in length. The SHORT Ram was measured
almost the same in length. The LONG Ram was tuned for the 2500-3500rpm (peak torque) range, while the SHORT Ram was tuned for the 3500-4000rpm (peak
torque) range. A BIG difference the divider makes in power!! The Crossram, (SHORTY Ram) 15" in length, 5000-5500rpm (peak torque)
