Wasn't that made by Weiand? A local guy ran that on a 69 GTX for quite awhile in the 70's and 80's. I'll check the old catalogs at work and run the locator. His car ran 10.30's back when 11.0's were fast.

I remember them. Fast nhra S/S'ers used them. The runners cris-crossed under plenum
The letters STR, were in the name,I think.

I think it was actually a S(hort) R(am) tunnel ram with a 3x2 bbl top. There was also some other tunnel ram for the six pack that had adjustable height. I remember that from an article series in Hot Rod where Paul Rossi built a Super Gas Mirada. You could always ask the Challengers current owner, Jåakim, his home page is http://home.swipnet.se/~w-83592/

Thumbs up

I've got a brand new one at the shop. It's the same type Rossi ran. It's the Weiand 6-pack cross ram. We've been contemplating running 3 of the Ron's 2-shooters on it on alcohol.

It is a never installed old one. They haven't been made in years. I've been trying to find my pics of it, but so far no luck.
