New Edelbrock STR-11 Crossram

The other intake was the R4b, Performer came WAY later, after the Torker. TransAm racing was road courses, so they had to pull strongly coming out of the corners on down the straights. The STR was "supposed" to be less radical, better down low than the UltraRam, which runs great on the street with a pair of sideways mounted Holley 660 Center-Squirters. Running an UltraRam means either no hood or a glass hood with a big rectangle cut out of it. Fine with me now that glass hoods are cheaper than good original hoods. Researching what kind of cam GM used in the DZ302 was a surprizingly small thing but I don't think Penske was using the cam GM was telling new owners of 302 Zs to use with their CrossRams. I try to match the cam, intake, & exhaust to the heads. As soon as you get the heads ported, polished, & flowed, you have potential of 600+ HP & 7500-8500 RPM, depending on how much cash you want to spend. Sure is fun pissing off the guys driving off-brand porkers. I really wish I could get somebody to cast OEM looking exhaust manifolds that flowed somewhere near headers. I have this R4b that I could get extrusion-ported & make look like OEM, & a Holley 1000CFM 3bbl that just needs a tag with AMCs Group19 Holley part number...I wouldn't really want to make it look 100, 000 mile grungy, but it would be fun to pop off some 10s & open the hood that had an old looking 401, hmm...could grind the engine size off & build up 304 out of epoxy on the block & put 304 badges on...just for fun, like farm truck on Street Outlaws...

Are you asking if that can be done or ?

For the record - I had no problems with communication or delivery. I have observed criticism from others - but my experience was perfect. The notifications were received and the shipping went off without any issues. Thanks again for producing this product - can't wait to install it on the SC Rambler project. - JJ
