Timing definately an issue here. Sounds like it needs to be advanced. Also, very good idea to always run a fan in front of the car when breaking in an engine in your garage or driveway. More air flow helps in the cooling process.

Skeletor,


Are you planning on running just the Ram Jet injection on an older engine or the Crate Motor itself?


I have done some home work on this subject so let me know; I can send you a contact to talk to about tuning the Ram Jet 350 to get more power from it.

i was thinking of running the ramjet on a 383 or 400 small block. this motor isnt for my camaro, its going in a friends 66 nova. i dont know much about the flow capabilities of this manifold i was afraid it might choke the motor. hahaha i said choke the motor. we were thinking about a 383 or 400 with the ramjet and a set of vortecs

Good choice!!! I am thinking of the same on a mild 406 build.

The intake will flow for a mild street motor as cast. Arizona Speed & Marine offers the Ram Jet as a package. Take a look at the link below.
