What are the advantages of a ram intake?

It feels like fall so it is a good time to post this. The engine in my Velocity VR1 is getting tired and has some blow by. The boat started out as a factory 1 race boat. Solarized. It had a Innovation built sealed engined and raced in 2005. Around 2012 it was refurbished by Velocity, new interior and cabin. I purchased it a year later and dropped it off to Eddie Young. He refreshed it and made some improvements. This winter I am taking it to Saris racing. They will bore it to 540, new heads etc and give me 600 to 650 HP.. I have talked to Jason Saris a few times and am very impressed. I am getting up there, in years, and this will likely be my last engine rebuild. I am very excited and I am sure this winter will seem very long.

Who else has winter projects?

Padraig

Gel Coating the bottom of my 72 Magnum Sport and flipping it over to do stringers. Added to the projects a 77 Starfire.... never claimed to be smart.

Hey Pat,
Tried emailing these to you but they wouldnt go through. Said you had a server problem?
Anyway...some progress pics. We were able to get the nasty old clear coat off the PS pulley and polish it. We're going to replace your thermostat housing with a stainless one as its really corroded on the inside. Once we mount the fuel psi regulator we will paint the ecu bracket. We started from scratch with an all new wiring harness as well.

WOW. You have been busy...looks great! Those fuel rails are impressive. As is the intake. It appears to be higher then the old set up? Do we have enough clearance under the hatch?

I would imagine so. Velocities typically have plenty with their built in air ram system. It is taller. Its a 4500 flange intake with a 4500-4150 spacer and a 4150 throttlebody
