lets look at your car as stock? One set of stats shows our cars from the factory without the RAM AIR....and the same cars WITH Ram Air...and ZERO difference in HP and torque. Now that is just one of probably several examples.
This is simply crazy to me! I have an ORIGINAL 302, with a Weiand Stealth 8020 intake and an Edelbrock 1420 600 com carb. I am running stock timing suggestions and had the carb mildly tuned after install, plus running all new vacuum. I also run a stock mechanical fuel pump, had an Edelbrock "performance" mechanical pump for a while, but it cracked at one of the npt fittings. Anyway, I would also suggest checking timing and getting your carb tuned. I chirp in first big time and also in second with a C4.
Dude just swap out the 2.75 gears for instant tyre smoking results. Also does sound like the tunes off and a bit more carb my not hurt.
Like others have said, maybe you have some tall gearing in the rear or something wacky with your timing. I have a stock 302 from an 80's something car. A factory iron 1965 289 4bbl intake with a Holley 600. Rear is 3:00 and a 3spd. In first if you smash it say goodbye to the tires. It will break traction in second if I shift right.
Run an elite Marti wouldn't be surprised if you end up joining the 1of1 club with that 1.
Well of course. So take the 2000.00 it would take to purchase the plenum if it didnt already have it, because that is the only difference. To be fair if the car is worth 15000 without then a margin of 1000 to 1500 MAY be fair. Some buyers might pay 2,000 and others would expect 800 to 1000. A guy with a lot of money would pay 3000.00 just to say he had the option. Remember this option is on a 351 and people like the bigger options that really raise value like a 429. (we are funny about motors and 4spds) Since your car came with it and everything is functional I'd stick around the 1500 mark. True value would be affected by the car having some fun trinkets on it and the buyer, the RAM AIR is one of those interesting trinkets. Let Gas Monkey or the Count or other fun make believe resto shows try to sell it, and it would be worth 5000.00
Matching numbers no mods,correct,well that's how I see it. Slightly different here than state side. I have a 1of1 stock H code, would I have paid more for it if I had of known before I brought it,then the answer is no for me. It's worth whatever someone's willing to pay I guess and a few bs points amongst your mates. Unless it was a boss or 429 car then it may be worth something but again that's just me I am sure others see it differently.
