Holley Hi Ram or Mid Ram?

[Vega$69]

I installed a mid rise last weekend on my LS3/525 in my 69 Camaro with SS hood. It has plenty of clearance. I have a Speedtech sub frame that may set the engine lower the a stock sub.

That looks sick!! Love the look of those Holley intakes. I would consider the Fast intake you have but mine is a 5.3.

Ah nice. Mine is DSE frame with engine setback mounts.

Very informative article. I really thought the Holley would dominate (no pun intended). Looks like Fast is the way to go. Why in the world does Edelbrock not use an LS style throttle body bolt configuration? Thanks for sharing the article!!

The issue with the test is that different engines and cams will perform differently with different intakes. The results of this test does not mean that any particular intake is better for your engine.

Also meaningful is where in the rpm range the power is made and how you intend to drive the car. Then your tranny and rear end come into play.

Peak HP and Torque #s do not necessarily make a faster car.
