Mid Ram vs Hi Ram OnTheDyno
Seen this on their webpage.
Yes it is a n/a test, but still an interesting one.
I just wonder if the lower rpm abilities of the Mid might benefit some road turbo setups, and boost will simply take care of the top end.
Given the lower profile and easier fitment of the Mid ( and horrific looks of the base plate ) it actually performs well !

Interesting that the 5.3 TT test they did is with the LSXRT intake, different cam/baseline though.
Not sure if they have done other intake tests, I think they did a while back. Not sure how much more info there is on the paid section of the site.
Still very surprising that the mid-ram wasnt a pig low down given how horrible it looks ! lol

The mid-ram would certainly work great for my 5.3L torque monster idea!

Not sure on length, but I reckon the Mid has small diameter runners. Not even sure on their configuration...but they're probably quite twisty too. Visually horrible, reality maybe makes no difference, or it might even help in some instances.
As you say, it could well be good for torque. Large plenum available and small runners with good port velocity.
Great for spool and torque

Not tripping. Heard the same thing from gurus back in 97 about the ls being a "throw away motor" and a "fad".
Look at them now.
