For sale: Holley stealth ram (new). Has been milled down to clear corvette hood, is less than nine inches tall from front/rear of chevy block to top of intake. Has special angle milled thottle body spacer with two NOS fogger nozzles. Has new fuel rails and new fuel regulator. Large thottle body (new) with switch mount for nitrous. Also included is new f-body small diameter distributor and new coil wtih custom billet mount. Also include are several jets for NOS nozzles and new chrome thermostat housing. This unit will directly replace TPI intake components. Uses TPI computor, injectors, etc. E-miail for pics. Makes much more power than TPI intake. $500. Might trade for V8/manual swap stuff.
If someone were to get this from you and use it to convert their carb setup to EFI, what parts would be needed (like sensors and such) that aren't included in what you're selling?

When I saw this posted earlier, I thought you might be interested.
Best way to get this running is to go to a junkyard and strip a TPI equipped car. Will need computor, wiring, injectors, TPS, and all engine sensors. If the donor is a camaro/firebird, should all just plug together.
I'm kicking it around some. The TPI equipped cars (Camaro and Firebirds specifically) I've seen in the junyards around me were stripped pretty good. So I'll going to see how easy it'll be for me to find those parts, sans injectors.
Do you have any pics of how you shortened the setup/where it was milled down?
Heard back from a well trusted source, and he says it might be a good fit for me (and in the end, much cheaper than my planned EFI conversion), he was curious on your modification to help ballpark fitment.
Thanks!

I get an error when trying to post pics with PIP. Can somebody post these for me? The intake is two piece, and the bottom section was milled down and ported to match the top section. In addition, the top of the top section was milled about 1/4 in.

Here are the pics sent to me by gusshotrod - I didn't ask him what he took them with that made them small pics, but still viewable (and no, I did no editing. Just saved them, uploaded them to webshots and posted the links - weird with the white boxes, I know).

I've read in a few places of people having issues with injectors not fitting because they were too tall, and that only certain injectors would fit. With your modifications - which if I understand, lowered the bottom of the upper intake to the base of the intake - what injectors will fit? Have you tried putting injectors and the fuel rails on the setup?

The box arrived today - it was packed extremely well. Everything inside was just as described, some parts partially attached/secured to the intake (likely to keep it from getting lost in the packing material). He was very straight-forward and clear in communications.
