I am now making the SSRAs out of Polypropolene plastic. This plastic is much more pliable than the ABS plastic that I used to make them out of. I switched manufacturers just recently. They recommended that I make them out of Polypropolene as they would be virtually shatter proof, and the plastic seams many times more durable. Here are some pictures of the SSRA scoops. The first one is of the old ABS version, the next is of the new Polypropolene version, and the last is of me standing on it. Anybody that has the older ABS version knows that to stand on the scoop would probably break it. I wish I would of made them from this plastic from the beginning. If interested, Leon at LM Performance ------->
will have some soon.

Where I work we have a Polypropolene Department that makes containers. They with it is very tough stuff, I don't know what mil your product is made out of, but with 10 mil sheet, you can barely cut it with a razor knife.

Give LM Performance a call.

If anybody has a SLP/FTRA cold air kit, and is interested in the scoop add on"Austin Scoop" these are also made of the new plastic.

sweet, i was torn between this and the ftra with the main disadvantage of this being it breaking on curbs. now with this new stronger plastic i've been convinced to go with the ssra i know there has to be a bunch of other people out there who would like to purchase these also. how would we go about getting a gp for them?

i ordered your kit from lmperformance a couple of weeks ago, they said they would be in, in about a week. Is that because they are waiting on your new design?

You would have to ask LM Performance for a GP

Visually the newer plastic is glossier and smoother in texture compared to the old version. The most obvious difference is how resilient the new material is. I posted some pics where I'm squeezing the mouth by hand, then released it. It flexes back everytime. It's also pretty thick material. Very nice piece.

We have tanks at work that are made out of 1" thick polypro.
It's a great material for this application.

Is your new ssra fusion welded?

funny thing i was ready in my Superchevy Magazine (i think it was the March issue).. that the version of SSRA or (verarams version for the Corvette) didnt show any dyno #'s at all...

BUT.. when taken to the track.. 3 passes were made with.. and 3 without it.. they picked up a solid .3 seconds in the 1/4.. equal to about 30-35hp..

so when all these people always ask for dyno graphs and such.. dyno's dont always show real world scenario's.. just thought i would pass this along to anyone that wants to do a back to back test of the SSRA at the track and see how much they gain.

This isn't to replace the lid...it is a supplement.

wt...f.

I've seen cam swaps change less, something else was up flat out. I know i've spoken out about ram airs before but i've never denied it may work, maybe good for 5-10 HP and if it makes you feel better to mod it.

But this thing putting out more then a set of long tubes is just laughable, and the mag that put that out even if that was the tiems changed should have put up ALOT more info then just back to back runs.

Even more so being a product that many tuners that are well respected don't buy into and or like.

I'm in no way bashing the product i'm sure it's finely made and upgrading the plastic is great, props to the maker. I'm just saying 30WHP+ and or .3 secs from this is just wow...
