Ok... I know ive asked alot of questions recently but im very curious. What do you have to do in order to install a tunnel ram air for a 289? What parts do you need and how long does it take?

 

What kind of 289 are you running? Is it really needed??

 

It's a 1967 289 in a coupe. Im looking at it but dont actually have the car yet.

 

You need:
Tunnel ram
2 carbs
Hood with hole
Air filter(s)
Fuel plumbing
Thottle linkage

You should also have:
Heavily modified 289 with large lift cam and heavy breathing heads with an operating RPM from 3-7k, a 3k stall or better if auto, and everything else that goes along with high HP in the drivetrain.

Otherwise you are commiting false advertising and staking claims you can't back up just by sitting there. Kinda like my car when I first got it....351c, tunnel ram, snorkel scoop, c6 with reverse manual VB and stock TC, Stock 8 inch with 2.79 gear and a 195 70 14 white wall tires. Absolutely silly.

 

Im just looking into upgrades early

 

Before the tunnel intake what else should i put into the engine first?

 

Not to mention brakes that can stop you, and as dodgestang pretty much says it, the need for tunnel ram air.

 

Does it not give much improvment to the performance?

 

This is what these guys are talking about:

IMO putting a tunnel ram on a stock 289 will decrease overall performance
